Haus der Musik: Viennese Classical Masters Concert

About this experience

Spend an hour with Vienna's greatest composers at the Haus der Musik, a short walk from the State Opera in the city's first district. The Wiener Klassik Ensemble, a professional string quartet in elegant concert dress, plays a programme of works by Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, Schubert and Strauss. It is an intimate, approachable way to hear the music Vienna is famous for, ideal before dinner or after a day of sightseeing. The programme: five Viennese masters in one hour The concert moves through the composers who made Vienna the capital of classical music. Expect Mozart's playful, sparkling melodies, the refined elegance of Haydn, who is often called the father of the string quartet, the fire and drama of Beethoven, the lyrical warmth of Schubert, and to finish, the lilting waltzes of the Strauss family. Because the music is performed by a string quartet, you hear every line clearly, and the pieces are well known enough to enjoy even if this is your first classical concert. About the Wiener Klassik Ensemble and the Haus der Musik The Wiener Klassik Ensemble brings together professional musicians who specialise in the Viennese classical repertoire. Their performance blends precision with warmth, and the small scale of the quartet keeps the atmosphere personal. The concert takes place in a modern hall with soft lighting inside the Haus der Musik, Vienna's house of sound and music at Seilerstätte 30. The building is a fitting home for chamber music: it stands in the historic centre between the State Opera and St. Stephen's Cathedral, and it is dedicated to the city's musical life.
