The sound of Vienna! The Wiener Symphoniker's popular chamber music series will once again accompany the exhibitions at the Wien Museum this year: an exclusive curator's introduction and tour of the current special exhibition will be crowned with a concert.

Poverty and survival in the metropolis will be the theme of the 30th anniversary of the street newspaper Augustin. A programme for reflection and smiles between Mackie Messer and variations on the Augustin character. Just in time for the golden "Backhendlzeit", the Symphonisches Schrammelquintett Wien takes a trip to Nußdorf to enjoy life with an Ochsenmenuett or a Schweinsbeuscherl Tanz and a few glasses of wine. The party continues on the Danube Island: with Austropop arrangements and good-humoured music by Jacques Offenbach or Friedrich Smetana - interpreted by the Eight Cellists of the Wiener Symphoniker.

Knowledge for all - that was one of the aims of Otto Neurath's pictograms. Music for everyone - that was the idea of composers such as Carl Frühling and Erwin Schulhoff. Flutist Stefan Tomaschitz and Maciej Skarbek on the piano now interpret the sounds focussed on the essentials. Egon Schiele also changed the world of images with his expressive paintings, which the HABE quartet now ‘paints’ in music - with works by Anton Webern and Erich Wolfgang Korngold. A good mood is guaranteed when the Thatiana Gomes Trio and The Hip Strings bring the city's South American communities to life with hot rhythms and plenty of joie de vivre.

The series is already available as a subscription (6 concerts) and as an individual subscription (4 out of 6 concerts). The individual chamber music evenings go on sale at the beginning of August 2025.
