Following the example of the legendary Vienna Soloists of the 1960s, young members of the Vienna Philharmonic and internationally sought-after soloists and chamber musicians from the Viennese music scene formed a powerful and dynamic string ensemble in 2018.

The aim and incentive of the New Vienna Soloists was and is to explore the rich repertoire for strings from the Baroque to the modern era at the highest level, combining the virtuoso brilliance of the individual members with a homogeneous overall sound. With this in mind, all the musicians also perform as soloists, depending on the repertoire.

This matinee focuses on composers who were closely associated with the Salzkammergut. The program ranges from dance-like lightness to lyrical intimacy. A morning that combines Viennese sound tradition, stylistic diversity and chamber music precision.
