ORF Radio-Symphonieorchester Wien live in Vienna

Experience ORF Radio-Symphonieorchester Wien live on March 18th

The ORF Radio-Symphonieorchester Wien, commonly known as the Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra, is recognized for its broad repertoire encompassing a core of Viennese classical and romantic works alongside 20th and 21st-century compositions. The orchestra maintains a commitment to contemporary music, frequently commissioning new pieces and showcasing lesser-known works. It’s historically rooted in post-war Austrian broadcasting, evolving into a highly regarded independent ensemble.

The concert on March 18, 2027, will be held at the Musikverein in Vienna. This venue is internationally celebrated for its exceptional acoustics, particularly within the Golden Hall (Goldener Saal). Completed in 1870 and designed by Hans von Hansmann, the Musikverein was built as a home for the Vienna Concert Society. Its architecture is Neo-Renaissance in style.

The Golden Hall’s acoustic qualities are largely attributed to its shoebox shape, wooden interior construction—using approximately 6,000 individual wooden components—and lack of parallel surfaces. It annually hosts the Vienna Philharmonic’s New Year's Concert, broadcast globally, solidifying its reputation as one of the world’s premier concert halls.
