Lautten Compagney live in Vienna

Experience Lautten Compagney live on December 19th

Lautten Compagney, a Berlin-based ensemble, will perform at the Musikverein in Vienna on December 19, 2026. The group specializes in historically informed performance practice of Baroque and early Classical music, focusing particularly on vocal and instrumental works from the 17th and 18th centuries. Their interpretations are noted for their expressive phrasing, agile ornamentation, and commitment to using period instruments – recreating the sound world as it would have been experienced by composers like Bach, Handel, and Telemann. They frequently explore lesser-known repertoire alongside established masterpieces.

The Musikverein is Vienna’s most famous concert hall and home to the Vienna Philharmonic. Completed in 1870, it was designed by Hans von Förster and is renowned globally for its exceptional acoustics. The building’s architectural style is High Renaissance Revival, incorporating elements of historicism. Its Golden Hall (“Goldener Saal”) is particularly celebrated; its design was influenced by ancient Greek temples and features extensive gilded ornamentation. Throughout its history, the Musikverein has hosted performances by many of the world's leading musicians and remains a central venue for classical music in Austria and internationally.
