ORF Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra live in Vienna

Experience ORF Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra live on December 4th

The ORF Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra will perform at the Musikverein in Vienna, Austria on December 4, 2026. This orchestra is recognized for its broad repertoire encompassing works from the Classical, Romantic, and 20th/21st-century periods, with a particular emphasis on Austrian composers like Bruckner, Mahler, and Strauss. The ensemble maintains a commitment to both standard orchestral literature and contemporary compositions, frequently commissioning new works.

The Musikverein, home to the concert, holds significant historical and acoustic importance. Opened in 1870, it was designed by Hans Hansen Baumgarten and built by the Wiener Musikvereins-Gesellschaft – a society founded by music lovers for music lovers. Its most famous hall, the Großer Musikvereinssaal, is renowned globally for its exceptional acoustics; consistently ranked among the best in the world. This is largely attributed to its shoebox shape and wooden interior construction.

The hall annually hosts the Vienna New Year’s Concert which is broadcast internationally. Beyond orchestral performances, it also serves as a venue for chamber music recitals and other musical events. The building itself represents a significant example of historicist architecture within Vienna’s cultural landscape.
