The Schubertiades:

Already during Franz Schubert’s life, a circle of friends of the famous Viennese composer met to so-called “Schubertiades” at which music were played together. This tradition is maintained in the courtyard of Franz Schubert’s birthplace.

The Wiener Schubertbund, one of Vienna’s most important Viennese male choir under conduction of Prof. Fritz Brucker, organizes Schubertiades at Schuberts Geburtshaus, 1090 Wien, Nußdorfer Strasse 54.
