Lahav Shani live in Vienna

Experience Lahav Shani live on January 19th

Lahav Shani is an Israeli-Austrian conductor known for his interpretations of Romantic and early 20th-century repertoire, often characterized by a focus on clarity, rhythmic precision, and a warm, expressive sound. He frequently explores the relationship between composer intention and modern performance practice. His approach often reveals textural details within familiar works, earning him recognition for both insightful analysis and passionate delivery.

The concert will take place in the Mozart Saal of the Konzerthaus Vienna. Opened in 1913, the Konzerthaus was built as a direct response to the Musikverein, aiming to provide a more modern and accessible concert hall. The Mozart Saal, the smaller of the Konzerthaus’s two main halls, holds approximately 710 seats. It is renowned for its excellent acoustics and intimate atmosphere; designed with a vineyard-style seating arrangement – surrounding the stage on three sides – which promotes a close connection between performers and audience. Its architectural style blends Art Nouveau and Classical elements. The hall’s acoustic properties are due to its carefully engineered wooden construction and shape, contributing to its reputation as a favoured venue for chamber music and orchestral performances focusing on clarity and balance.
