The Wiener Concert-Verein is a distinguished chamber orchestra that has carved out a niche for itself within the classical music scene, particularly renowned for its deep and varied explorations into both the classical and contemporary repertoires. Formed from the burgeoning talents within Vienna, a city ubiquitously acknowledged as the heartland of classical music, the ensemble has dedicated itself to delivering performances that both honor the grand traditions of the past while fearlessly navigating the complexities of modern compositions.

Over its course, the Wiener Concert-Verein has showcased an impressive array of musical projects, as evidenced by their eclectic recent releases. From the magical strands of "Hedwig's Theme", suggesting a venture into cinematic scores, to the seasonal cheer of "A Golden Christmas", and onto the more intellectually demanding realms of Arnold Schoenberg's compositions in "Kammerkonzert: Music of Arnold Schoenberg", their repertoire spans a broad spectrum of the musical landscape. They have also delved into thematic projects and collaborations, such as "Gulda Meets Shostakovich", blending different musical epochs and styles. Their commitment to classical excellence is further demonstrated through dedicated performances of canonical works, such as Haydn's Symphonies and Vivaldi's "Le Quattro Stagioni", ensuring that the essence of Vienna's rich musical heritage continues to resonate within their modern expression. Through these varied engagements, the Wiener Concert-Verein not only upholds the venerable traditions of Viennese and European music but also asserts a dynamic presence in the contemporary classical music scene.
