Johann Strauss (son) – 200 years of the King of Waltz:
In 2025, Vienna will celebrate the 200th anniversary of the “King of Waltz”, Johann Strauss (son)! Born on October 25, 1825 in Vienna, he enchanted the world with his irresistible waltzes, polkas and operettas. His most famous works include “On the Beautiful Blue Danube”, “The Emperor Waltz” and the operetta “The Bat”.
His works are inseparably linked to the Viennese musical tradition and are still the epitome of Austrian joie de vivre.
The Vienna Classic Concerts will dedicate a special program to the King of Waltz, allowing you to immerse yourself in the fascinating world of his music.
Antonio Salieri – 200th anniversary of death:
Another important composer will be celebrating the 200th anniversary of his death in 2025: Antonio Salieri. The Italian-born composer worked in Vienna for over 50 years and had a significant influence on Viennese musical life as court conductor and teacher. His students included Franz Schubert, Franz Liszt and Ludwig van Beethoven.
Though often overshadowed by Mozart, due in part to fictional portrayals of their rivalry, Salieri was a highly respected composer in his own right.
Experience masterpieces by this composer at the Vienna Classical Concerts.
