The Vienna Residence Orchestra, a chamber orchestra with a long tradition, was established by pianist and conductor Paul Moser in order to present the Viennese classics in full. The numerous ranges of events in recent decades were presented in Vienna’s most beautiful palace. The orchestra plays pieces from Mozart to Johann Strauss with between 10 and 40 musicians. In 1991 the orchestra was the official Austrian representative at Mozart’s anniversary celebrations and played numerous concerts at the “Wiener Klangbogen” festival.
In 1992 world-famous Rudolf Nurejev became the orchestra’s first guest director. Nurejev was quickly seen throughout Europe with the Vienna Residence Orchestra and met with sensational success. Important European artists were guests alongside the Vienna Residence Orchestra: Rainer Küchl, The Vienna Philharmonic’s concertmaster, star tenor Jochen Kowalski, conductors Arild Remmereit, Guiseppe Lanzetta, Herbert Roggenburg, and many others beside. The Vienna Residence Orchestra attends the well-known international festival. The stations on the way to a successful, global career included: Paris, Berlin, Rome, Venice, Ravello, Deauville, Athens, the Budapest National Opera, Varese, Montevideo, Mexico, Brussels, Salzburg and the Vienna Music Association. Today the Vienna Residence Orchestra is one of the world’s best chamber orchestras. The orchestra’s concertmaster is one of the world’s best violinists who after huge international success makes appearances as a soloist with leading orchestras around the world.
Under the musical leadership of Prof. Christian Pollack and guest conductors Gerhard Lagrange, Daniel- Hoyem Cavazza and Mag. Zoltán Janikovic, the Vienna Chamber Orchestra plays concerts every day in the most beautiful Vienna palace: in small and large groups, with famous opera singers, ballet dancers and with musical delights that match the appropriate seasonal theme. The VRO’s Mozart and Strauss concerts are one of the cultural highlights of any journey to Vienna.

The Vienna Mozart Orchestra was founded in 1986 by musicians from the best and most famous Viennese orchestras and from various chamber music ensembles. The artists all shared the aim to preserve the musical tradition and the cultural heritage of Vienna by dedicating themselves to the cultivation and representation of symphonic chamber music of the Viennese Classical Period. As the name Vienna Mozart Orchestra implies, the 30 musicians devote themselves exclusively to the works of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, the most accomplished representative of that period who, though born in Salzburg, found his home in Vienna. The orchestra's repertoire ranges from all of Mozart's symphonies to a great variety of his instrumental concertos (for violin, piano and wind) to arias and duets from his most famous operas.
