Salzburg Concert Series

Students who are interested in going to some of the high-quality concerts that occur annually in Salzburg may want to join this group which goes to a number of pre-announced concerts at various times during the school year. Concerts attended will be held at various times during the week and weekend and full information will be made available beforehand. All costs for the concert series are covered by AIS-Salzburg. Artists/groups will include the University Orchestra Salzburg, Franciscan Church Orchestra, Mozarteum Orchestra, Musikum Salzburg, Musisches Gymnasium Orchestra and Chorus, Schlosskonzerte, Bach Gesellschaft, and others. Although voluntary and open to all, it is very important that all students who register for the various concerts then commit themselves to attend.

Salzburg History and Culture

All new students to AIS-Salzburg are involved in two weekend events (Sept. 12 and 19) which are designed to introduce them to their new home-away-from-home. Salzburg, Austria has a long history and great tradition of culture and the arts. Through guided tours and visits to important sites in the city and region, this requirement is intended to give our students an insider’s view of this beautiful city. We want our students to know the important historical events, traditions, and cultural aspects that make this city one of the favorites of world travelers. New day students as well as any returning students are also welcome to participate in these events. There are no costs associated with this requirement.

Horseback Riding Club

Students (with some experience) may choose to participate in the horseback riding club during the school year. Arrangements will be made through local riding stables. Involvement and commitment to this club includes attendance and participation 2x each month, generally on Saturday afternoons although individual appointments may be at alternative times during the week. Local licensed professionals lead these courses and provide instruction for the students regardless of experience. Both beginners and experienced riders are welcome.
