Event Details
Welcome to the Chopin Festival 2027 at Kartause Gaming
Since 1985, the International Chopin Society in Vienna has invited music lovers each summer to the Chopin Festival at Kartause Gaming, a former Carthusian monastery dating back to the fourteenth century in the Mostviertel region of Lower Austria. Under the motto of understanding between nations, peace and freedom, international musicians and a well travelled audience gather for several days of classical and romantic music.
Highlights and Attractions at the Chopin Festival in Gaming
- Concerts centered on the works of Frédéric Chopin, complemented by other classical and romantic composers
- Orchestral concerts, chamber music evenings and choir performances across several atmospheric venues within the monastery
- Performances by internationally acclaimed soloists from Europe, Asia and beyond
- A candlelit late night concert, the Nocturno, held in the monastery's baroque library
- A festive closing concert, often staged at the lake stage in Lunz am See
- The striking historic setting of Central Europe's largest Carthusian monastery against the backdrop of the Ötscher mountains
Program and Schedule: What to Expect in 2027
The festival traditionally spans several days in August, combining concerts in the monastery church, the prelate's courtyard, the prelate's hall and the baroque library with additional events elsewhere in the Mostviertel region. The detailed 2027 program and artist line up had not yet been published at the time of research.

Visitor Tips: Travel and Accommodation in Gaming
- Gaming lies in the Mostviertel region of Lower Austria at the foot of the Ötscher mountain and is best reached by car
- Light layers plus something warmer for the evening are a good idea, since the alpine region can cool down after dark
- Accommodation in the Mostviertel should be booked early given the festival's regional and international following
- For the latest program details and ticket reservations, contacting the Chopin Society directly is recommended
