Classic in Advent

09th December to 23rd December 2025

Year after year, it is a pleasure to plan the new program for "Classic in Advent". Year after year, great classical artists enrich our "Spirit am Berg" program with small, fine house concerts after dinner. Rarely you have the opportunity to experience renowned artists in such a private, relaxed setting.

This year this very special pre-Christmas music festival take place at the Feuerberg for the twelfth time. Pianist and conductor Prof. Manfred Schiebel is a guest at the Feuerberg once again as mentor of our festival. As a well-known pianist, he has already worked with international stars such as Edita Gruberova, Grace Bumbry and Leo Nucci.

We look forward to Classic in Advent 2025.

Charity concerts

Classic in Advent: Program 2025

Tuesday, 09th December 2025: Schubert String Quintet in C Major

Members of the Vienna Philharmonic as well as the Vienna State and Volksoper orchestras perform.

Schubert’s only string quintet, written for the rare instrumentation of two cellos, was composed just a few months before his death, in September 1828. It is considered one of the most famous chamber music works of all time and brings together — in a manner unique even for Schubert — all the qualities of mature instrumental music: symphonic form, otherworldly beauty of sound, and dramatic contrasts.
