Why this is the correct answer
Founded in 1969 under the leadership of conductor Nikolaus Harnoncourt among others, the Carinthian Summer has grown into one of Central Europe's most respected annual classical music events. Concerts are held in the Baroque abbey church of Ossiach and in venues in nearby Villach, with programming that emphasizes early music, chamber music, and opera. The festival's lakeside setting in high summer and its consistently high artistic standard draw audiences from across Austria and beyond.
