ORF Radio-Symphonieorchester Wien live in Vienna

Experience ORF Radio-Symphonieorchester Wien live on June 25th

The ORF Radio-Symphonieorchester Wien, one of Austria’s leading symphony orchestras, will perform at the Musikverein in Vienna on June 25, 2026. The orchestra maintains a broad repertoire spanning from the classical and romantic periods through to contemporary compositions, frequently commissioning new works and prioritizing interpretations informed by historical performance practice. It is known for its versatility, regularly performing opera productions in addition to symphonic concerts and recordings for the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation (ORF).

The Musikverein, home to the concert, is internationally renowned as one of the world’s most prestigious concert halls. Completed in 1870 and designed by Hans Hansen, it is celebrated for its exceptional acoustics, largely attributed to its vineyard-style seating arrangement and wooden interior construction. The hall was built as the house of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Wien (Society of Friends of Music in Vienna), an organization founded in 1842 dedicated to promoting musical life. It annually hosts the Vienna Philharmonic’s New Year’s Concert, broadcast globally, and serves as a key venue for numerous other orchestral performances and chamber music recitals. The building itself reflects High Victorian architectural style with significant neo-Renaissance elements.
