Meisterwerke

The Vienna Philharmonic has been an honorary member of the Wiener Konzerthausgesellschaft since December 2024, and in the coming season they will once again present us with a series of masterpieces of music history: under the direction of Tugan Sokhiev, Jakub Hrůša, Andris Nelsons and Sir Simon Rattle, they will perform hits such as Mahler's Symphonies no. 8 and No. 9 by Mahler or Strauss' tone poem »Also sprach Zarathustra«, but also less frequently performed repertoire gems such as the 2nd Symphony by Sibelius, ballet music by Stravinsky and Bartók or Janáček's orchestral rhapsody »Taras Bulba«. Klaus Mäkelä, who has also been a member of the select circle of Philharmoniker conductors since December 2024, performs here with his orchestras from Oslo and Paris as well as symphonies by Shostakovich and from France. Our »Great Talent« Lukas Sternath, who will make his debut with the Vienna Philharmonic with Prokofiev's Piano Concerto No. 3, and world star Lisa Batiashvili with Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto will shine as soloists.
