==============================================================
Vienna, Austria is set to host a cultural celebration titled "Days of Arad Culture" from August 8 to 20, 2025. This event aims to highlight the cultural and historical ties between Arad, Romania, and Vienna [1].
The celebration begins on August 8 with a photo exhibition titled "Arad of Yesterday and Today" at the Romanian Cultural Institute (ICR) in Vienna. This exhibition showcases the architectural connection between Arad and Vienna and will be open until August 20 [1].
Two major concerts featuring the Arad Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra will be held at the prestigious Golden Hall of the Vienna Philharmonic on August 9 at 3:30 PM and August 10 at 7:30 PM. These are notable as it is the first time the Arad Philharmonic performs at this venue. The orchestra will be conducted by maestro Martin Braun from Berlin [1].
Alongside the main photo exhibition, there will be additional exhibitions of documentary and artistic photographs, as well as screenings of video footage and promotional films about Arad at the ICR throughout the duration of the event [1].
The event is organized by the "Musikforum Europa" Cultural Association in collaboration with Arad's local authorities, emphasizing cross-cultural cooperation [1]. The exhibitions at the ICR Vienna headquarters are located within the same venue as the concerts.
This event marks a significant cultural exchange celebrating the link between Arad and Vienna through music and visual arts [1].
Visitors at the "Days of Arad Culture" in Vienna can explore various lifestyle exhibitions, including fashion-and-beauty displays and food-and-drink tastings from Romania and Austria, reflecting the cultural blend between the two cities.
After experiencing the concerts and visual arts, participants can further immerse themselves in the shared heritage by touring home-and-garden exhibits showcasing traditional Arad architecture and Viennese design.
