Some of them were born here, others visited our city as children, some of them worked here for a longer time. Which street witnessed the first songs of Johann Nepomuk Hummel and what did he experience during a storm at sea? In which town near Bratislava did Joseph Haydn go to school and what did he do as a little singer? Why did the Mozarts have to buy a carriage here?

Maybe there are little musical geniuses among you too! Come and find out more!
