Now held annually in New York and Vienna the Festival and associated Competitions provide opportunities to meet and hear other dedicated young musicians, to see and experience the music capitals of the world, and, together with world-renowned guest artists, perform on some of the most prestigious international stages.

Since its inception in 2002, the Golden Key Music Festival of the United States has established itself as a major cultural event. Its mission is to give young musicians the opportunity to display their talents on some of the most prestigious concert stages of New York, to open for them the door into the magic world of art—a realm where almost everyone who steps on the stage is gratified with an incomparable feeling of self- affirmation

Golden Key of Vienna

Since 2007 our annual summer Festival attracts musicians and music lovers by the cultural treasures of Austria and the opportunity to immerse themselves in the world of Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Liszt, and other all-times celebrities through excursions, trips, and concerts of prominent guest artists. The Festival offers its participants performing opportunities in historical concert halls such as Ehrbarsaal and Boesendorfersaal in Vienna, as well as in Salzburg, Baden and Eisenstadt.
