The Summa Cum Laude Festival is an international youth music festival for choirs, bands and orchestras, held annually in Vienna, Austria in July. It takes place in the city's two main classical concert venues, the Golden Hall of the Musikverein and the Konzerthaus. The Festival was established in 2007, hosted by VIA MUSICA (Vienna International Association for Music and Culture Exchange). Participants may elect to compete with their peers in the "SCL Competition" or they may choose to enroll in the non-competitive "SCL Celebration" workshops and seminars, which take place in the University of Music and Performing Arts, Vienna.
