When the young musicians of the Kinder- & Jugendphilharmonie meet the winners of the ZEIG DEIN TALENT contest, the result is a rousing fusion of creativity and passion. The audience was able to see this for themselves on Friday, June 27 in Hall 2 of the Messezentrum.

The time has finally come: after a two-year break, the ZEIG DEIN TALENT talent contest organized by the Salzburg Children's Festival and the Philharmonie Salzburg is back - and the response is huge! From a total of 153 registrations and video submissions (with 282 young artists), 80 acts were invited to the live audition at the new Philharmonie Salzburg.

On Friday, May 23, 2025, the Philharmonie Salzburg opened the Klassik:Sommer in Bad Hofgastein for the eighth time as "orchestra in residence" with an extraordinary and moving concert experience. Around 400 guests experienced a top-class opening concert in the acoustically brilliant Kursaal, which offered classical masterpieces by Mozart and Beethoven as well as a glimpse into the musical future.

"All You Need Is Love" - the title of the five-part concert series by the Philharmonie Salzburg was the program in the Great Festival Hall, which was filled to the last seat: peace and love for a better world is the message of many of the greatest world hits by the British beat, rock and pop band The Beatles. Chief conductor Elisabeth Fuchs opened the evening with a minute's silence of gratitude for 80 years of peace in Austria.

Monika Ballwein and Elisabeth Fuchs offer a musical journey back to the 1960s with the Salzburg Philharmonic Orchestra and its 200-strong choir in the city of Salzburg, when they bring John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr to life with Come Together, Let It Be and Yesterday in the Grosses Festspielhaus.
