They perform a range of chamber music with their regular colleagues. We combine concerts with visits to the main galleries of Winterthur and Zurich. Programme online. Limited places.

Our annual tour to the EISENSTADT INTERNATIONAL HAYDN FESTIVAL
(11 - 17 September) includes visits to almost all the places associated with Haydn. This year Adám Fischer and the Austro-Hungarian Haydn Orchestra give two concerts including a Haydn opera L’isola disabitata and we visit the summer palace at Eszterháza.
The 5th INDIAN SUMMER FESTIVAL in Eastern Slovakia (26 September-4 October - not 3 Oct as in brochure) hailed by Gramophone as the best-kept secret among European festivals. We start with two nights in the old Polish capital Cracow, before crossing the High Tatra mountains to the Spiss region and a forgotten town.
We hope we can welcome you on a tour. Flights from regional airports – or travel by rail – are all possible.
