Tonkunstler Orchestra

With its residencies at Musikverein Wien, the Festspielhaus St. Pölten and Grafenegg, the Tonkunstler Orchestra is among the major musical ambassadors for Austria. The main focus of the orchestra’s artistic work is traditional orchestral repertoire, ranging from the classical to the Romantic period through to the 20th century. At the same time, the Tonkunstler consider it a privilege to perform contemporary music. The orchestra currently employs around 100 musicians.

Other recording projects include Leonard Bernstein’s «Mass», Joseph Haydn’s Paris Symphonies and Ludwig van Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 in Gustav Mahler’s version, all under the direction of Kristjan Järvi.
