Classic Rocks…
…is an innovative artist agency from Salzburg, the city of Mozart. The base consists of a string quartet with two violins, one viola and one violoncello. Of course we can increase the number of musicians up to the size of a symphonic orchestra, but we can also offer a smaller version e.g. with two violins only. The Classic Rocks quartet interprets classical songs in a modern way. Pimp your event (e.g. wedding, private party, company event…) with a unique combination of modern and classic.
This crossover is new and will give your event a special, unforgettable touch.
Most of our musicians finished their studies at the famous Salzburg music university “Mozarteum“.
We are mobile and our profession is our passion – look and see!

Petra Toscany
Manager
My name is Petra Natalia Toscany, I was born on February 19 in 1983. After finishing the economic academy HAK Salzburg I was working at the reception and the reservations department in 2 different hotels for several years. From 2005 until 2017 I was working at the company “Salzburger Konzertgesellschaft“, which is an agency specialized in organizing classical concerts in Austria and abroad. I was the chief of the book keeping department, worked as chief secretary and was responsible for organizing lots and lots of concerts. In this agency I collected lots of experience and spent a wonderful time of my life.
In my spare time you can find me anywhere, where there is water. I love the Italian and the Spanish sea, the lakes in our wonderful Austria and the swimming pool. Further I have an aquarium, but normally I do not swim there.
