Concert Hall

Schloss Elmau has celebrated a unique musical tradition for over a century now. Today, as many as 200 Classical Music & Jazz Concerts take place each year, as well as several festivals, and many CD recordings, all featuring the great artists of our time. The artists not only perform at Schloss Elmau, but relax here with their families & friends just like their audience. Kids are welcome to listen if they can sit still for one hour. For many guests, the concerts and encounters are unforgettable highlights of their vacation.

The Schloss Elmau Cultural Trust is a non-profit trust supporting the unique cultural tradition of Schloss Elmau since 1972. The trust is particularly engaged in supporting young promising artists with tax deductible donations. The trust is run by Martin T:Son Engstroem, founder and Director of the famous Verbier Festival in Switzerland.
