Erich Wolfgang Korngold live in Vienna

Experience Erich Wolfgang Korngold live on November 6th

On November 6, 2026, a concert dedicated to the works of Erich Wolfgang Korngold will be held at the Orf Radiokulturhaus in Vienna, Austria. Korngold (1897-1957) was an Austrian-American composer known for his lush, late-Romantic musical style heavily influenced by Wagner and Strauss, but uniquely blended with elements of Hollywood film scoring techniques. He transitioned successfully between composing operas, symphonic works, and film scores – notably for early sound films like *The Adventures of Robin Hood* – achieving significant recognition in both classical and cinematic spheres. His compositions are characterized by soaring melodies, rich harmonies, and dramatic orchestration.

The Orf Radiokulturhaus is a prominent cultural venue in Vienna, serving as a central hub for the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation’s (ORF) radio programs focused on classical music and culture. Originally constructed in 1936 as a broadcasting center during the Anschluss period under Nazi rule, it underwent significant renovations following World War II. It officially reopened as the Radiokulturhaus in 1996.
