As a member of the Arnold Schönberg Chor I've had the opportunity to sing in some amazing Austrian venues, including the Musikverein in Vienna, Schloss Stainz, and the Grosses Festspielhaus in Salzburg. We sang Haydn's "Die Schöpfung" (The Creation) at the Musikverein and in Salzburg as the opening concert for the Salzburger Festspiele. We also did Haydn's Nelson Mass at Schloss Stainz, under the baton of Nikolaus Harnoncourt, whose mother actually grew up in the Palace, as Austrian aristocracy.

Walk to work in Salzburg. Not bad!
