From 1908 to 1910, Gustav Mahler spent his summer holidays in Toblach/Dobbiaco, Italy, where he composed his last three orchestral works. In his honour, the Gustav Mahler Music Weeks have been held annually since 1981, since 1999 at the Grand Hotel Cultural Center. The festival offers orchestral and chamber concerts with well-known artists, exhibitions and lectures on Mahler's work and world.
The Gustav Mahler Musikwochen is a small, sophisticated and internationally recognised music festival in Mahler's summer landscape, the Dolomites. Dedicated to the tradition and work of Gustav Mahler, it is a meeting place for Mahler's music, research and discography. In 2025, the festival will take place from 12 July to 5 August.
