Philharmonic Choir

This choir consists of our most talented and ambitious singers who possess sufficient musical training, sight reading skills and singing techniques. It is assumed that a part of the repertoire is learned in self-study, so that the joint rehearsals can mainly concentrate on the musical interpretation of the works. The repertoire includes symphonic works and oratorios, as well as a cappella works from the Renaissance to the modern age. The choir sings 4-5 concert series each year with a focus on classical music.

In June the choir will sing concerts with "The Dream of Gerontius" by Edward Elgar in the Golden Hall of the Wiener Musikverein, as well as "World Music".
Previous projects included Gustav Mahler’s 8th Symphony at the Wiener Konzerthaus, "Ein deutsches Requiem" by Johannes Brahms, the Christmas Oratorio and the B minor Mass by Johann Sebastian Bach, the "Trois Chansons" by Claude Debussy, "Daphnis et Chloe" by Maurice Ravel, the Mass for two choirs by Frank Martin as well as a cappella works by Francis Poulenc and Olivier Messiaen.

For the audition a sight reading test is necessary. In this choir we are primarily looking for altos and tenors, but all voices are welcome. The age structure is between 18 and 50 years.

Rehearsals: Tuesday 6 – 8 p.m.
