Program & Schedule: What to Expect in 2026
The concert takes place at the Brucknerhaus Linz in 2026 and begins at 7:30 pm. The program connects high baroque shepherd music and highly virtuoso works with reflective texts read by Matthias Brandt. It is aimed at lovers of early music and is more narrative in character than a traditional Christmas concert.
The exact list of works for Linz was not published on the event pages we checked, and no end time is given. The same artists performed a program titled Pastorale in the 2025 season, including works by Corelli, Alessandro Scarlatti and Vivaldi. We do not claim that the Linz program is identical; please confirm the details with the organizer.

Visitor Tips: Travel & Accommodation in Linz

- Mid December in Linz is cold, so warm clothing for the walk to and from the concert hall is recommended
- Advent is a popular travel time, so hotels in Linz should be booked early
- Allow plenty of time to arrive so that you are seated before the 7:30 pm start
- The venue is generally suitable for wheelchair users and has a toilet for disabled guests, although not all standards are fully met; contact the box office in advance if you need support
