ARTS AND CULTURE
Austria is a nation with an abundant cultural heritage and a rich artistic life, an undisputed intermediary and bridgehead between cultures. It ranks throughout the world as a major cultural power. Its wealth of artistic achievements extends from the architectural monuments of millennia of history to a packed program of modern-day cultural events: from concerts, drama and festivals to folklore. Austria prides itself on its illustrious orchestras (like the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, the Salzburg Mozarteum Orchestra, the Vienna Symphony Orchestra) and choirs (Arnold-Schönberg Chor, Vienna Boys' Choir), while its concert halls foster both the chamber music of past centuries and the music of today.
