125 years of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra

The history of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra is closely linked to the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Wien: On October 30, 1900, the orchestra's founding concert took place in the Großer Musikvereinssaal under the direction of Ferdinand Löwe. Precisely 125 years later, the orchestra is celebrating its birthday with a festive concert at the Musikverein.
