Repertoire Philharmonic Generations Vienna

Tradition United with New Impulses

The repertoire of Philharmonic Generations Vienna represents musical depth, diversity, and innovation. It spans the core of the Viennese Classical tradition—from Mozart, Haydn, and Beethoven to the great symphonic masters such as Mahler, Bruckner, and Strauss. In addition, the orchestra regularly includes contemporary compositions in its programs. This creates a vibrant dialogue between past and present that resonates deeply with musicians and audiences alike.

This artistic approach is no coincidence; it reflects the ensemble’s core identity. Viennese musical tradition is not merely to be preserved but continually developed. Each work is chosen with the utmost care—always with the aim of uniting emotional depth, cultural significance, and artistic excellence.

International Concerts as a Cultural Bridge

A special highlight in the orchestra’s repertoire is the Chinese New Year Concert in the Golden Hall of the Vienna Musikverein. Since 2019, the ensemble has shaped this festive event, which stands as a powerful symbol of the musical connection between China and Austria. It is not only a highlight of the concert season, but also a prime example of successful intercultural exchange.

Beyond this tradition, Philharmonic Generations Vienna is active in various countries. Musicians from the ensemble travel to international projects where they rehearse and perform together with young talents from the host nation. In these encounters, much more than music is shared—personal connections, mutual understanding, and trust grow naturally. Moreover, this format offers young people a particularly meaningful and impactful form of cultural education.

Music as an Intergenerational Language

Philharmonic Generations Vienna is more than an ensemble—it is a place where experience and curiosity meet. At its core lies the exchange between generations: musicians of the Vienna Philharmonic work side by side with emerging young artists. Both sides benefit—the seasoned musicians by passing on their knowledge, and the younger talents through fresh perspectives and creative energy.

Each performance becomes an experience that reaches far beyond the music itself. With every interpretation, the Viennese musical tradition is not only preserved but reimagined. That is why the repertoire of Philharmonic Generations Vienna is not merely a reflection of the past, but a promise for the future.
