Philharmonic Choir

This is an advanced choral group which sings mainly symphonic and a-cappella classical works as well as projects involving pop, jazz und world music. Singers in this choir have musical experience and certain sight-reading skills, but the level is slightly easier than in the Camerata Vocalis. This choir sings 2-3 projects and programmes in each academic year.

On June 17, 2026 the choir will sing "The Dream of Gerontius" by Edward Elgar at the Golden Hall of the Wiener Musikverein. On December 18 and 19, 2026, Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy's Symphony No. 2 will be performed in the Festsaal. Together with the Camerata Vocalis, the main project of the following year will be the "Missa Solemnis" commemorating the 200th death anniversary of Ludwig van Beethoven. This rarely performed and demanding work will be presented at the Musikverein on March 27 and April 30, 2027. In June 2027, Josef Gabriel Rheinberger's 8 part "Cantus Missae" will be performed.

Previous projects included Gustav Mahler’s 8th Symphony at the Wiener Konzerthaus, music from the video game "Genshin Impact", a medley from the musical "Les Misérables", Ludwig van Beethoven's 9th symphony, "Carmina Burana" by Carl Orff, “Schicksalslied” and motets by Johannes Brahms and the gala concert "Concert des Continents" at the Wiener Musikverein with world music from Africa.

An audition with a sight-reading test and a voice check is required for this choir and there is an upper age limit of 45 years. We are primarily looking for bases, but all voices are welcome.
