For centuries, Vienna, Austria has been a mecca to classical musicians. In the pantheon of great composers, you would be hard pressed to find a composer who wasn't involved with Vienna in some capacity. We selected great composers from across time that each had a different relationship to this musical city. Whether a resident, visitor, national, or student, all roads inevitably lead to Vienna.
