The “Schönberg Fest” in March celebrates 15 years of the Arnold Schönberg Center in Vienna, which opened its doors for the first time in March 1998.
In this context a Gala concert will take place on Saturday March 16th at 19:30 CEST and includes the highlight of the Schönberg Fest: a concert with Maestros Zubin Mehta and René Staar conducting members of the Vienna Philharmonic and the Ensemble Wiener Collage. This special program includes the famous Chamber Symphony op. 9 by Arnold Schönberg as well as new works by Stankovski, Sánchez-Chiong, Deutsch, Wysocki, and Staar, many of which are world premieres.
Maestro Zubin Mehta conducts this concert in recognition of his first public concert in Vienna (Brahms-Saal, Musikverein) as a student of Hans Swarowski in 1958 with the same Schoenberg piece.
This concert has been made possible through the generous support of The City of Vienna, BMUKK, GFÖM / AKM, SKE / austro mechana and the Ernst von Siemens Musikstiftung.
