VIA IULIA AUGUSTA

VIA IULIA AUGUSTA CULTURAL SUMMER
12 July – 18 August 2024

Internationally renowned stars and young up-and-coming talents will be treating audiences to "Music from all directions" on the Via Iulia Augusta during the 13^th edition of this event. The Upper Carinthian municipalities of Kötschach-Mauthen, Dellach im Gailtal and Oberdrauburg work together across the valleys. True to this year’s motto "where from? where to?", the 2024 season will focus on people in motion and various aspects of changing places. Interdisciplinary elements, a guided hike and an educational and concert trip complement the substantial musical programme and provide impulses for reflection on current topics. A total of 12 events are on the agenda.

MOTTO where from? where to?
The 2024 season of the Via Iulia Augusta Cultural Summer focuses on people on the move, whether voluntarily or forced. Moving from one place to another has always been an inherent part of human existence, and change of location has always been an integral part of culture: from nomadic hunter-gatherers to historical migratory movements and adventurous journeys to faraway countries, to summer retreats, holidays, and excursions.
The programme takes into account the different circumstances and motivations. Climatic conditions and natural disasters, war, violence, and economic hardship have always forced people to leave their homes and find refuge abroad. Others are lured out into the world by the desire for freedom, by curiosity and the spirit of discovery. Happy are those who can return to a safe home after travelling.
