From the3rd to December 15th, 2025, the ballroom of the Rudolfsheim office building at Rosinagasse 4 will be the setting for a special musical event. The festival is now taking place for the fourth time and has set itself the goal of strengthening the connection between music history and district culture. How meinkreis.at reports, the focus is on the works of composers who lived in the 15th district and have often been forgotten.

Their rarely performed pieces will be presented as part of the festival. In addition, Alma Rosé, who taught violin and music lessons in the district, is remembered and whose musical legacy the event also aims to commemorate.
