Composers on Summer Retreat in Bad Ischl - Reading

As part of the "Thursdays at the Drei" event series at the Hotel Austria, author Teresa Hrdlicka will be reading from her book *Composers on Summer Retreat in Bad Ischl*.

Composers, librettists, opera divas, actors, Burgtheater stars, and theater directors gathered every summer in Bad Ischl to write, compose, rehearse, negotiate, and sign contracts.
Teresa Hrdlicka focuses on seven composers who had close ties to the imperial spa town and whose works remain part of the classical music canon to this day.

Admission: Included in the museum admission fee for that day

She worked for the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Vienna and served as a research consultant for the Da Ponte Institute in Vienna. She has published articles, essays, and concert programs for the Vienna Philharmonic, the Vienna State Opera, and the Vienna Musikverein, among others.
