Philharmonic Salzburg
rousing. versatile. touching.
The Salzburg Philharmonic was founded in 1998 by conductor Elisabeth Fuchs. The orchestra won the hearts of the audience with fresh interpretations of classical works, extraordinary programs and passionate music-making. Music education and participatory projects are just as much a part of the annual program as classical philharmonic concerts.
The repertoire includes works by Bach, Vivaldi, Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, Mahler, Stravinsky, Britten, John Adams, Arvo Pärt, Astor Piazzolla and Fazıl Say. In the crossover area, the orchestra impresses with projects such as Everyman Reloaded Symphonic, Salut Salon Symphonique, Alpensinfonie and Alpine literature, silent films & live music, Best of Hollywood, Broadway meets Hip-Hop, A Symphonic Tribute to ABBA, QUEEN, THE BEATLES and Michael Jackson, Classic meets Cuba, Symphonic Salsa, Mambo in Concert and Symphonic Alps with the Herbert Pixner Project.
