Generation change

Vivi Vassileva, multiple prize-winner and "Great Talent" of the Vienna Konzerthaus, follows in Martin Grubinger's footsteps and opens the "Percussive Planet" cycle with the virtuoso percussion concerto that the then already 80-year-old Friedrich Cerha wrote in the mid-2000s for the star percussionist, who was only 25 at the time. Generational changes also characterize the rest of the program of the opening concert of the "RSO Vienna" cycle in the 2023/24 season: it begins with the prize-winning work "Blue Bongo Fever Dream" of the composition competition named after the legendary jazz pianist and composer Carla Bley. Finally, the main work of the evening is the ballet "Le Sacre du printemps", with which Igor Stravinsky finally steps out of the world of his teacher Rimsky-Korsakov and becomes a co-founder of international modernism.

Representative longitudinal section

One should celebrate the festivities as they fall: On 3 January 2024, HK Gruber, one of the most successful Austrian composers of our time, will celebrate his 81st birthday. The ORF Radio Symphony Orchestra Vienna, of which he was a double bassist for more than a quarter of a century, and the Wiener Konzerthausgesellschaft, which elected him an honorary member in 2009, will celebrate this not quite round anniversary on the 22nd of April. The jubilarian himself is at the conductor's podium, and all the works on the programme were written by him: The »Manhattan Broadcasts« by the 20-year-old have been described in the music magazine »Rondo« as »a wild cross between George Gershwin, Leonard Bernstein and Kurt Weill«. The soloist in Gruber's trumpet concerto »Aerial«, one of his most successful compositions ever, is the fantastic virtuoso Selina Ott. The highlight of the evening, however, is the Austrian premiere of a seven-part orchestral suite of about half an hour from Gruber's most recent opera »Tales from the Vienna Woods« after Ödön von Hórvath, which the »Financial Times« characterised as a counterpart to Verdi's »Falstaff«: as »a serious work at the end of a long career of hilarity«.

Wiener Konzerthaus

The Wiener Konzerthaus ( Vienna Concert House or Hall) is one of the largest and most artistically progressive institutions in international musical life. During the course of a season, which extends from September to June, some 750 wide-ranging events take place and more than 600,000 visitors can listen to around 2,500 different compositions. With this comprehensive and varied selection, the Wiener Konzerthaus – together with the Vienna State Opera House and the Musikverein – is central to Vienna’s reputation as one of the world’s leading music capitals.

From its earliest days, the Wiener Konzerthaus has held the highest cultural aims and artistic mission: «To act as a venue for the cultivation of fine music, as a meeting point for artistic endeavour, as a home for music and a cultural centre for Vienna». It was in this spirit that the Konzerthaus was inaugurated on 19 October 1913 with a festive concert attended by Emperor Francis Joseph I. To mark the occasion, Richard Strauss wrote the «Festliches Präludium op. 61», which was followed by Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony. This programme combination, comprising a contemporary work and a masterpiece from the past, served as a model for the Wiener Konzerthaus’s future direction: today, too, an awareness of tradition and the joys of innovation form the main pillars of the Konzerthaus’s artistic identity.

Great Hall

In the heart of the building (which consists of more than 600 rooms) lies the Konzerthaus’s flagship, the Grosser Saal (Great Hall). Designed with a sense of space and classical balance, its stage has provided the setting for many memorable concerts over the years. In this room, artists, audiences and atmosphere blend into a harmonious triad.


Home to world-famous orchestras, virtuoso soloists, renowned conductors and legendary jazz musicians, the Great Hall can accommodate an audience of 1,800 and offers the perfect venue for a wide variety of musical activity. The Great Hall has emerged from the major renovation with renewed splendour and, despite improvements in technical installation and audience comfort has continued to conserve its original elegance. Its unique atmosphere ideally lends itself to the broad range of artistic activities offered by the Vienna Konzerthaus.

 

 

Mozart Hall

Open and relaxing, welcoming and intimate, with its incomparable appeal, the Mozart Hall constitutes a jewel of international musical life. The perfect setting for all types of chamber music, from lute and Lieder recitals to string quartets and chamber orchestras, it can accommodate an audience of around 700 – an ideal size in which to experience the intimacy of chamber music and recital performances.

The Mozart Hall enjoys world-wide acclaim on account of its unique acoustics. This distinction makes it a top favourite with leading ensembles and soloists – as well as a popular venue for recordings. This was taken into account during the major renovation of the building: as with all other rooms in the Konzerthaus, the Mozart Hall is directly linked to a recording studio and a technical control room.



 

Schubert Hall

With its festive character, the Schubert-Saal presents the perfect model of a music salon, the restored use of the windows follwing the renovation having returned the room to its elegant, airy appearance.

Equipped with around 320 seats, it lends itself to a wide range of chamber-music concerts, as well as to receptions, dinners and lectures. It is home to the popular lunchtime concert series, as well as to events which enable promising young musicians to experience a professional concert stage. Many a musical career has been launched in the Schubert Hall of the Vienna Konzerthaus.
