About Us
The IMPERIAL PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA is considered one of the best Austrian orchestras for film and classical music. The ensemble of renowned musicians from Viennese and international orchestras forms a unique body of sound. A body of sound that is committed to the special "genius loci" of Vienna as a city of music.
For almost all the most important musicians and composers in history have lived and worked in this cultural metropolis in the heart of Europe: Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, the waltz king Johann Strauss, Mahler, Schönberg and many more.
And it is by no means a coincidence that a great, if not the greatest composer of international film music was a Viennese: Erich Wolfgang Korngold.
Repertoire
The IMPERIAL PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA aims to bring breathtaking music to audiences around the world - especially the great works from the vast genre of film music.
Our repertoire includes classics from flicks such as "Forrest Gump", "Jurassic Park", "The Lion King", "E.T." and "The Sound of Music". In addition, we are happy to offer classical music highlights - such as Mozart and Strauss - on request.
Our goal is to enchant young and old and to offer audiences music that is worth listening to and that goes straight to the heart.
Booking
From quartets to symphonic ensembles: we provide the musical framework for all events. Book us.
The IMPERIAL PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA can be booked for large and small events in all kinds of venues - from gala or benefit concerts in a large concert hall to private matinees in a small setting.

Musikverein
Every year in December we present our traditional Christmas concert - in the most famous concert hall in the world: the "Golden Hall of the Vienna Musikverein". We also welcome the New Year there every January - with a lively programme featuring highlights by waltz king Johann Strauss & Co.
In Vienna, when people speak of the "Wiener Musikverein", often simply the "Musikverein", they usually mean the world-famous concert hall. However, the "Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde" (Society of Friends of Music), which owns the building, is sometimes also referred to as such in the city.
This association built the building on land donated by Emperor Franz Joseph and opened it on 6 January 1870. The heart of the Vienna Musikverein is the magnificent "Golden Hall", in which a historic organ was installed by the Austrian firm Rieger in 1907. In 2001, the building was renovated and expanded to include several rehearsal and concert halls.
Not only its magnificent décor, but above all its acoustics have made the Goldener Musikvereinssaal one of the three best concert halls in the world - along with that of Symphony Hall in Boston and the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam.
The Goldener Musikvereinssaal is 48 metres long, 19 metres wide and 18 metres high, has more than 1,700 seats and 300 standing places and is known all over the world, among other things, because the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, which is based here, presents its unique "New Year's Concert" every year on New Year's morning.

Ernst Theis
is an internationally sought-after Austrian conductor who has repeatedly made a name for himself owing to his versatility. Many important orchestras, such as the St. Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra, the Basel Symphony Orchestra, the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra, the Bochum Symphony Orchestra, the Rhineland-Palatinate State Philharmonic Orchestra, and many others, repeatedly invite him to conduct programs that do not deal exclusively with the standard repertoire of symphony orchestras. The concert "The Sound of Christmas" is keeping with the broad artistic profile of the artist, who regularly conducts in major concert halls such as the Philharmonie Cologne, the Nikolaisaal Berlin/Potsdam or the Philharmonie Essen. He has recently been able to successfully celebrate his debuts at the renowned Gewandhaus Leipzig and, as recently as April this year, at the Deutsche Oper Berlin. In June 2023 he will conduct the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin for the first time. Learn more about Ernst Theis on his personal website www.ernsttheis.com
