It is the unique enthusiasm and dedication of the musicians who make the concerts of the Philharmonie Salzburg something special. With refreshingly new interpretations of classical masterpieces freed from the dust of the centuries, the Philharmonie Salzburg has been playing in the hearts of the audience for more than a decade. Chief Conductor and Founder Elisabeth Fuchs has succeeded in shaping a sound body with an unmistakable profile from the best musicians of the younger generation. Guest directors such as Isaac Karabtchevsky, Carlos Dominguez-Nieto, Bruno Weinmeister, Marco Boemi or Rémy Ballot, as well as soloists and actors such as David Orlofsky, Nikolai Tokarev, Olga Scheps, Stefan Arnold, Michael Kofler, Maria Bill, Cornelius Obonya or Iris also appreciate this quality Berben.

Programmatically, the Salzburg Philharmonic begins with unconventional programmes, cross-over projects (e.g. "Mozart goes Jazz", "Maria Bill sings Edith Piaf", "Symphonic Klezmer", "Tango pur with Quadro Nuevo") and performances of rarely played works (e.g Schmidt "The Book with Seven Seals, Bernstein "Mass") Accents. In addition, the orchestra plays film music, Best of Broadway or Symphonic Pop with extraordinary passion. Through the connection with other arts, extraordinary projects arise again and again, for example the Salzburg Philharmonic was on stage with a breakdance group or played the film music live for silent films such as "The New Babylon" or "Metropolis".

A major concern of the Philharmonie Salzburg is to address as many people of all ages as possible and to inspire them for classical music. Each year, more than 30 family, children, student and apprentice concerts are held in the Concert Calendar of the Philharmonie Salzburg, which are designed for a young audience and at the same time provide the classics audience of the future.
