What is Mid Europe?

Mid EUROPE is among the largest music festivals for wind and brass instrument ensembles in Europe. Its unique selling point is the fact that musicians and performers are not paid but attend because of their own love of music and the opportunity the festival offers them to make music with and learn from others and discover different cultures.

Every year 35 orchestras from 15 countries come to Schladming in order to perform their music in front of an international public. The musical genres to be heard at the various concerts and venues in the Schladming-Dachstein region include classical, traditional Bohemian, swing and the lively rhythms of ska and pop.

There are open-air concerts in the main square of Schladming and in-door concerts in Schladming congress centre. The large marching music show - the Schladming TATTOO - takes place in the Planai WM Park arena while the LONG NIGHT OF MUSIC can be experienced everywhere in the centre of Schladming. Other concerts, including church concerts, are hosted in the neighbouring town of Haus im Ennstal.
