Wiener Sängerknaben

The Vienna Boys' Choir is the world's most famous boys' choir. Its roots trace back to 1498 (!), and among the choir's former members, you'll find classical giants like Joseph Haydn and Franz Schubert. Now, the choir is making a rare guest appearance at the Concert Hall, featuring Swedish music!The diverse programme showcases many facets of the choir, with much of the music specially arranged for this occasion. Before the interval, the classical dominates with music by Purcell, Mozart, Schubert, Verdi, and Orff, among others. And, of course, there's the quintessential Viennese with both Strauss waltzes and a polka.After the interval, there are also some Swedish elements, such as Gabriella's Song from the film As It Is in Heaven, and ABBA's Mamma Mia and Thank You for the Music. Perhaps not what one might expect from the Vienna Boys' Choir! This part also includes jazz, musicals, and even Italian crooning – Volare (actually titled Nel blu dipinto di blu) and O Sole Mio!

Wiener Melange

»Wiener Schulen« gibt es zwei. Manche begegnen der Zweiten mit Argwohn. Ganz zu Unrecht, wenn man bedenkt, welch vielfältige Musik in ihrem Umkreis entstand. Mahler, Zemlinsky und Webern stehen für würdige wie anregende Geburtstagsgrüße an deren berühmten Begründer. Mahlers romantisch-früher Klavierquartett-Satz ist zugleich die einzige Kammermusik, die der bedeutende Sinfoniker und letztliche Wegbereiter der »Zweiten Wiener Schule« der Nachwelt hinterlassen hat. Zemlinsky, Schönbergs früher Förderer und Lehrer, steuert ein Brahms-beseeltes Klarinettentrio bei und von Webern, dem treuesten Schüler Schönbergs, sind feingearbeitete Miniaturen zu erleben, bevor der Jubilar selbst das Wort ergreift mit seinem frühen Meisterwerk »Verklärte Nacht«. Konzertdauer: ca. 105 Minuten – inklusive Pause

With their perfect, crystal-clear voices, the famous Vienna Boys Choir captivates audiences everywhere. In their Christmas concert »Every Year Again«, they present Advent and Christmas carols alongside classical works. The Vienna Boys Choir is the oldest boys’ choir in the world that does not belong to a church. They are an institution in the history of music and can look back on over 500 years of tradition. From the very beginning, they have been active as musical ambassadors: As early as the 15th century, the first choirboys accompanied Emperor Maximilian I to imperial diets.

Wiener Klassik

Haydn's "Missa in angustiis," his only mass in a minor key, reflects the turbulent times of the Napoleonic Wars. Beethoven's Symphony No. 2, written as his deafness began, is surprisingly playful and full of contrast. Mozart's Symphony No. 1, composed at the age of eight, reveals a composer brimming with energy, imagination, and original ideas.
