Bach Days is an annual 10-day festival that runs from late November to early December and features the baroque music of J.S. Bach. Works by a few later composers are also included in the program. The daily events include choral and chamber performances and organ concerts.

The performances take place in St Johann Church, the Academy of Music and the palace.

The Festival Summer Concerts is an annual six-day event including nightly concerts featuring baroque and classical music. Events range from large-scale symphonic performances to smaller chamber concerts and recitals. All the events take place in the 18th-century Residenz Church.

The Mozart Festival is an annual month-long event that takes place in June and includes almost daily performances of works by Mozart. Since its inception in 1922, the festival has brought together internationally acclaimed artists, who performed in large-scale operas, symphonic and chamber concerts and recitals.
