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

The aim and motivation of the New Vienna Soloists has been and continues to be to explore the rich repertoire for strings from the Baroque to the modern era at the highest level, while connecting the virtuosic brilliance of the individual members with a homogeneous overall sound. In this sense, all musicians also appear soloistically depending on the repertoire.

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