Salzburg Festival Society Gala

Mr. John French III, Chairman and the Board of Directors request the pleasure of your company at the Salzburg Festival Society Gala

 

Salzburg Festival

The Salzburg Festival was founded by composer Richard Strauss, poet and dramatist Hugo von

Hofmannsthal, and director Max Reinhardt, on August 22, 1920. Nestled in the princely baroque

town of Salzburg, far from the everyday bustle of the big cities, the Salzburg Festival was immediately recognized as a major destination by the world’s foremost directors and artists.

 

Salzburg Festival Society

The Salzburg Festival Society’s mission is to serve as the liaison between the Salzburg Festival and its American friends and patrons, providing members with exclusive access to events and services related to the Festival. The Society is proud to support artistic excellence and innovation in partnership with the Salzburg Festival. The Salzburg Festival Society was founded in 2005 by Gerhard Andlinger, John French III and Isabelle Harnoncourt.
