Vienna Music in July

Hi gang,

I am attending some opera performances at the Festspiele in Munich, and then heading to Vienna for a side trip in late July. I would love some recommendations for non-touristy music ideas there. I know the Staatsoper and Volksoper are closed, and I believe the Philharmonic is in Salzburg for the festival during that time.

It doesn't have to be strictly classical music. I'm a big fan of Paul Weller (Style Council; the Jam), who will be there in July but I haven't seen the dates announced yet. I suppose I can just pickup the Wien.info and see what strikes my fancy, but I would appreciate some rough ideas

Thanks!
Todd

Sorry, can't help you. I'll be at the Festspiele in Bayreuth. After 16 hours of Wagner, I'll be ready for some schlager music.

I'm in a similar situation, Todd. I'd love some ideas for nontouristy music in Vienna in late July.

What in the world is "non-touristy" music?
Does that mean no Strauss waltzes, no classical orchestral music, no organ recitals, no folk music?
Please explain.
