Symphonikerblås / Pieces for brass ensemble from Vivaldi to Bernstein

Brass music at its finest will resound in the Brahms Hall with Symphonikerblås, a brass ensemble founded in 2009 and consisting of Wiener Symphoniker musicians. The aim of the ensemble is to reflect the players' roots in traditional Austrian brass music at the highest possible level, while also setting new benchmarks with new, virtuoso arrangements of familiar melodies. This evening the ensemble will set off on a musical journey through time from the baroque – including Monteverdi's "Toccata" and Handel’s "Fireworks Music" – to the contemporary – with works from John Williams, George Gershwin and Leonard Bernstein. Afterwards they'll return to their roots in the Austrian and Bohemian brass tradition. Tickets are available directly from the Musikverein's Box Office under +43 (0)1 5058190.
