Join in & discover
For over thirty years, the Musikverein has presented a diverse concert program, inviting children, young people, and families to dive into the world of music. Every concert series is one-of-a-kind, featuring opportunities for singing, dancing, and making music, emphasizing that musical growth comes from active participation. The museum’s archive, library, and collections also welcome families to explore their musical wonders through interactive flashlight tours.

Programme for kindergartens
Kindergarten groups can choose from a comprehensive concert program at the Musikverein. Three series, each with different artists, concepts and themes, playfully introduce children to the world of music. Playing along, dancing and singing along have a high priority in all concerts because musical development goes hand in hand with doing one’s own thing.
Programme for schools
The Musikverein offers an extensive program for all school levels – from preschool and elementary to middle and secondary schools. During staged and moderated concerts, dress rehearsal visits and encounters with our artists, we build sustainable bridges into the world of music.

Club 20
The youth club, for everyone from 14 to 29 years of age, offers all music fans in this age group the opportunity to enjoy each of our Gesellschaftskonzerte (“Organizer: Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Vienna”) from the best seats – for only €20 per ticket in the famous Großer Musikvereinssaal (Golden Hall) and €10 in the equally exciting venues of the Brahms Saal, Glass Hall / Magna Auditorium and Metal Hall.
General Information
Lower age limits
Please note the age recommendations at the events and refrain from visiting with younger children if possible.
Responsibility
Children subject to supervision can only attend our events accompanied by adults.
Floor pitches
Children can sit directly in front of the stage in the open hall at all children’s concerts (except the “Capriccio” concert series and the “Wunderwelt Orchester” concert). For adults, rows of chairs are available in the rear area of the hall. At our baby concert series “Dodo und Tatz”, the hall is carpeted on which children and adults can sit together.
Stage
For safety reasons, please ensure that your child only enters the stage when expressly invited to do so by the artists. Children and adults can move freely in the room at the baby concerts “Dodo und Tatz”. Nevertheless, we ask for your attention and assistance so that no instruments or props are damaged, the artists and other visitors are not disturbed, and no safety risks arise.
Cloakroom
Coats, bags, backpacks, bicycle helmets, umbrellas and folding chairs may not be taken into the hall for safety reasons. For safekeeping at the cloakroom, the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde reserves the right to charge a fee in cash. The cloakroom fee is included in the ticket price for children’s concerts in the New Halls and at all kindergarten and school events.
Strollers
At our baby concerts, “Dodo und Tatz”, there is a separate parking area for strollers and buggies in the foyer of the second basement floor. At all other events, stroller storage is minimal. We therefore ask you to come to the Musikverein without a stroller if possible.
Lap cards
Each concertgoer must purchase their own ticket, regardless of age. We therefore ask for your understanding that we do not offer lap cards.
Food & Beverages
Please do not take food and beverages into the concert hall. Spilt drinks and leftovers on the ground pose a hazard.
Baby changing tables
At our baby concerts, “Dodo und Tatz” changing tables are prepared in the restrooms of the foyer in the second basement.
