Your Vienna Konzerthaus programme: classical music, jazz and great voices
At the Vienna Konzerthaus, music reveals its full breadth. One evening is dedicated to majestic orchestral sounds. The next to the refined language of chamber music. Then jazz, Baroque, world music or contemporary works open up new realms of listening.
It is in this artistic range that the special charm of the Vienna Konzerthaus lies. Each evening has its own timbre: ceremonial with sweeping orchestral sounds, concentrated with chamber music, open to new ideas or full of rhythmic energy.

Four halls, countless tonal directions
The Vienna Konzerthaus is not devoted to just one particular musical style. It opens its spaces to many soundscapes – providing the right setting for each.
In the Big Hall, huge orchestras and international soloists are able to unfurl their full effect. The Mozart Hall brings chamber music and smaller ensembles closer to the audience. The Schubert Hall provides a particularly focused and direct musical experience. The Berio Hall was added during the general renovation from 1998 to 2002 and now offers space for contemporary music, new formats and experimental sound ideas.
The result is a programme with an impressive range: classical and Baroque, early music, jazz and contemporary compositions. Around 900 concerts per season demonstrate how diverse music in Vienna can sound – featuring different timbres evening after evening.
The Vienna Konzerthaus as a Jugendstil gem
The Vienna Konzerthaus is an architectural curiosity. From 1911 to 1913, Ferdinand Fellner, Hermann Gottlieb Helmer and Ludwig Baumann erected a building in which late Historicism, Secession and Jugendstil merged to form a whole that remains unmistakeable to this day.
But the Konzerthaus was never designed to be merely a glossy façade. It was created as an open centre for music festivals – for a wider audience and for music in many forms. Thus right from the start, it set a different tone to the nearby Musikverein.
Its dimensions also reflect this aspiration. The Big Hall alone can hold some 1,865 guests. One of the largest concert organs in Europe towers above the stage. The Vienna Konzerthaus combines splendid architecture with a programme that remains open, international and surprising.

Tracing the history of the Vienna Konzerthaus
It began with a bold idea: architect Ludwig Baumann envisaged an “Olympion” with concert halls, an ice skating rink, cycling club and arena for 40,000 people. The vision shrank but the ambition remained: a place for everyone, not just for the bourgeoisie like the neighbouring Musikverein.
From 1911, theatre architects Fellner and Helmer erected the building, and on 19 October 1913 the Konzerthaus was inaugurated with Emperor Franz Joseph in attendance. Its first programme showed how tradition and modernity go hand in hand here: Richard Strauss’ specially composed “Festive Prelude” was followed by Beethoven’s Ninth.
This mix shapes the concert house to this day. Its halls are acoustically isolated such that multiple concerts can take place at once without interfering with one another. This means that classical, early music, jazz and new music share the programme – with around 900 concerts per season.
