The story

Rheinberger Festival 2026 in Schaan/Vaduz/Multi-venue

A week-long classical music festival across Vaduz and Schaan marking the 125th anniversary of composer Josef Gabriel Rheinberger's death, spanning organ recitals, a piano duo performance, and chamber concerts, and closing with his oratorio Christoforus performed by the Chorseminar choir and the Liechtenstein Symphony Orchestra together.

In March 2026 the International Rheinberger Society mounted a week-long festival across Vaduz and Schaan to mark the hundred-and-twenty-fifth anniversary of the death of Josef Gabriel Rheinberger, the nineteenth-century organist and composer widely regarded as Liechtenstein's most significant classical musician.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival is built entirely around one composer, tracing his output from early juvenile pieces through to his mature organ and choral works, an unusually deep single-composer retrospective for a country of Liechtenstein's size

02

The mystery stays covered

Its centerpiece performance of the oratorio Christoforus, staged with a full symphony orchestra and specialist choir, is a rare large-scale outing for a piece seldom programmed elsewhere

03

The city starts moving

Guest musicians were drawn specifically for their Rheinberger expertise, including a piano duo that has recorded his complete solo piano works and an organist with academic standing in historical performance, giving the week a scholarly as well as celebratory character
