Wiener Philharmoniker - Topic

There is perhaps no other musical ensemble more closely associated with the history and tradition of

European classical music than the Vienna Philharmonic. In the course of more than 180 years, this

orchestra has experienced and influenced the course of musical history around the world. Even to this day,

prominent soloists and conductors refer to the unique "Viennese Sound" as the outstanding quality that

sets it apart from other orchestras.

The orchestra's touring activity commenced at the beginning of the 20th century and has since taken the

orchestra to all continents on the globe. In recent years, this has included regularly scheduled concerts in

Germany, Japan, the USA and China. The relationship to Japan and the Japanese audiences is so close that

even in the pandemic year 2020 the orchestra's tour to Japan took place after the implementation of

extensive security measures and a tour-long quarantine.
