Austrian Music Concepts
Vienna Schubert Symphony
The Vienna Schubert Symphony Orchestra
is an established Viennese
institution which has been regularly performing traditional symphonic repertoire
on one hand and special cross over projects on the other. The traditional
repertoire includes symphonies, operas as well as smaller ensembles performing
chamber music. However, what sets us apart from other orchestras are
our special international projects: we have regularly performed in theatre
productions at the Vienna Burgtheater and have recorded and appeared in a
major Bollywood Production in India; the composer of the soundtrack being
the Oscar award winner A.R. Rahman. There has been a series of such exciting
projects in the past which has added to our growth, giving us the opportunity to
learn from different partners and cultures.
The coming year has several exciting projects in store for us: For the New Year
2013, we will undertake a concert tour to China. In March George Bizet's opera,
Carmen will be performed at a fort in India; in this performance, Carmen is not a
French gypsy- she is Indian- this will be an interesting intercultural exchange.
