The "Blauli" butterfly puts the topic of singing centre stage for several months in the participating primary schools. In order to ensure that teachers and pupils are well prepared, teacher coaching, which will take place at the Vienna Konzerthaus, and school workshops will introduce the classes to the repertoire and playfully prepare them for their big performance. The highlight of the sing-along project is the singing of the Blauli songs in a concert in the Mozart or Schubert Hall of the Vienna Konzerthaus. There is a new programme for the 2025/26 school year (Volume 9)!

In the 25/26 season, our inclusive concert format »klangberührt« will continue as a school concert. The concert experience is aimed at inclusive school centres and integration classes with pupils with and without disabilities between the ages of 10 and 14. For the format, the distance between the stage and the audience in the Schubert Hall is reduced. This creates a concert format in which a lot is possible and allowed: a space in which students can spontaneously articulate their feelings and emotions - barrier-free, in the best sense of the word. Music mediator Lilian Genn interacts with the audience and the use of light and colour appeals to all the senses - enabling a holistic and comprehensive approach to listening to music.

Julian Prégardien | Bryan Benner
»Schubert songs are my mother tongue«, says the celebrated tenor Julian Prégardien, who caused a sensation in Vienna with the »Müller*in Wien« series. His love of Schubert's music unites him with Bryan Benner, the mastermind behind the ensemble The Erlkings - the baritone, guitarist and singer-songwriter describes himself as a »Schubadour«.

Momentum Vocal Music
The young vocal ensemble Momentum Vocal Music aims to make the diversity of choral music-making audible and visible. Its repertoire encompasses the wealth of choral literature as well as solo vocal music from the Renaissance to the present day.

Spaemann & Bakanic
A cello, a singing voice, an accordion: Marie Spaemann and Christian Bakanic mix pop with classical modernism, tango nuevo, European folk and jazz in »Splits & Circles«. The result is clear melodies, rousing rhythms and an unmistakable poetic sound language.
