The Festival
From 1908 to 1910, Gustav Mahler spent his summer holidays in Toblach and composed his last three orchestral works here. In his honor, the Gustav Mahler Music Weeks have been held annually since 1981, based at the Grand Hotel Cultural Center since 1999.
The festival encompasses orchestral and chamber concerts by renowned artists, exhibitions and lectures on Mahler's works and world. A small, demanding and internationally recognized music festival in Mahler's summer landscape – the Dolomites.
It is dedicated to Gustav Mahler's tradition and his work, as well as a place of encounter for Mahler's music, science and discography. In 2025, the Gustav Mahler Music Weeks were once again held under the patronage of Italian President Sergio Mattarella.
