Vienna Philharmonic

Vienna, AT 🇦🇹

Founded in 1842, the Wiener Philharmoniker is among the most revered orchestras in the world, renowned for its distinctive Viennese sound and its globally televised New Year’s Concert. The orchestra is entirely self-governing: its members are drawn from the Vienna State Opera orchestra, and it works without a permanent chief conductor, collaborating instead with leading guest conductors. It performs at the Musikverein, whose Golden Hall is famed for its acoustics.
