Symphonic Orchestra

This orchestra consists of around 80 musicians, who are mainly students from various Viennese universities. The repertoire consists of works from the Wiener Klassik and early Romantic period. The repertoire selection is technically somewhat easier than that of the Philharmonic Orchestra.

In the summer term a concert with the 9th symphony by Antonin Dvorak will be played at the Golden Hall of the Wiener Musikverein, as well as several concerts with the Requiem by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

Past projects were "Enigma Variations" by Edward Elgar, "Trois Nocturnes" by Claude Debussy, "The sorcerer's apprentice" by Paul Dukas, the 9th symphony by Ludwig van Beethoven, the great C major symphony and other choral and orchestral works by Franz Schubert, “Carmina Burana” by Carl Orff, the “Peer Gynt Suite” by Edvard Grieg, “Schicksalslied” by Johannes Brahms, the “Egmont Overture” by Ludwig van Beethoven and the “Carmen Suites” No. 1 and 2 by Georges Bizet.

In October 2026 auditions for all instruments will be held.
