The KIRCH’KLANG (Churches’Sounds) Festival premiered in summer 2021 when the pandemic had aroused a joint longing for communion, beauty and consolation. Ever since, musicians, artists and intellectuals assembled by festival leader Martin Haselböck invite the audience to join their pilgrimage to ancient churches and historic venues in the Salzkammergut region. Taking sacred music as a starting point the festival’s summer programmes cross borders to evoke profound reflexions on past and present.
A Mini Symposium
The 2024 Bad Ischl Salzkammergut Region European Capital of Culture, in preparation for this titular show, is putting on a miniature symposium with the Kirchklang Festival and the Agrarbildungszentrum Salzkammergut, the Salzkammergut region agricultural education center, on the topic of small-scale agriculture and its perspectives.
