Since its founding, the Vienna Concert Association has been known for its unadulterated top quality. Barbara Dragan, one of the most exciting conductors in Europe, has been appointed Young Associate Conductor of the Orchestre National de France and led the preparation and recording of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Paris. The musical multi-talent Roland Batik has had a close relationship with the Vienna Concert Association for years. As a wanderer between musical worlds, he is one of the most versatile musicians in the country. As a creative pianist and composer, he transcends musical boundaries and always places the piano at the center of his works.

Franz Schubert's 5th Symphony is characterized by its charming and cheerful nature, strongly inspired by Mozart's music. This early symphonic work by Schubert captivates with its melodic beauty and is a popular piece in the repertoire.
