Experience classical music at the highest level

Schönbrunn Palace Orchestra

We are a highly professional, traditional, and internationally acclaimed Viennese chamber orchestra, which has celebrated many great successes since its founding in 1997.

We specialize in the repertoire of Viennese classical music, in particular the works of Joseph Haydn and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, as well as the great music of the Strauss dynasty and their contemporaries. In doing so, we attach great importance to the Viennese style of sound and can interpret the above-mentioned composers not only in a subtly individual way but also traditionally. "Viennese” is in our blood.
