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.

On May 17, 2026, a concert featuring Antonín Dvořák's Symphony No. 9 will be played in the Golden Hall of the Wiener Musikverein. On May 30 and 31, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Requiem will be performed in the Ceremony Hall of the University of Vienna. In December 2026, the orchestra will split into two smaller ensembles and perform Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy's Symphony No. 2, "Lobgesang", in four concerts in the Ceremony Hall of the University of Vienna on the 12th/13th and 18th/19th. The summer semester of 2027 will be dedicated to film music, and on June 17, a concert featuring music from Star Wars, Harry Potter, The Matrix, Lord of the Rings, Out of Africa, and more will be held at the Musikverein. This concert will be shared with the Philharmonic Orchestra, but the Symphony Orchestra will perform the majority of the program.

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.

Auditions for all instruments will be held in October 2026.
