Christmas concert
Soloists of the Vienna Chamber Orchestra
Mario Hossen (violin)
Michael Bednarik (trumpet)
The unique concert series “Concert spirituel” by the internationally acclaimed violin virtuoso Mario Hossen together with the Vienna Chamber Orchestra will enchant you from September to December 2020 in the Vienna Minorite Church. Experience the traditional concert cycle in one of the most beautiful churches in Vienna with incomparable acoustics.
The Concert spirituel (French for “spiritual concert”) is the name of one of the first public concert series that was groundbreaking for musical tastes in France and ultimately throughout Europe. The concerts began for the first time in 1725 and later series of concerts with the same name also took place in Vienna, London and elsewhere.
Mario Hossen received his training in Sofia, Vienna and Paris. At the age of eight he made his debut as a soloist with orchestra. His teachers include Gérard Poulet and Michael Frischenschlager. He is celebrated for his incredible virtuosity and charismatic appearance. His repertoire ranges from the Renaissance to Classical and New Music. As a concert soloist of international renown, he has played with well-known orchestras such as the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields, the Vienna Chamber Orchestra, the English Chamber Orchestra, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, the Sofia Radio Symphony Orchestra, the Bruckner Orchestra Linz and the Tchaikowsky Moscow Radio Symphony Orchestra, the Orchestra della Scala di Milano, the Orquesta Sinfonica del Estado de Mexico and the Northwest German Philharmonic.
He gives concerts with partners such as Bruno Canino, Vladimir Fedoseyev, Lior Schambadal, Israel Yinon, Philippe Bernold, Leslie Howard, Adrian Oetiker, Gérard Causse, Roy Goodman, Veselina Kasarova, Vladimir Mendelssohn, Boris Mersson, Leon Bosch, Georges Pludermacher, Jean-Bernard Pommier to name a few. Several works by contemporary composers are dedicated to him or have been commissioned by him (e.g. by Tomas Marco, Rainer Bischof, Walter Baer, Georghi Arnaoudov, Francois-Pierre Descamps, Alessandro Solbiati).
Source research on Niccolo Paganini is a focus of his scientific and artistic work. The complete works of Paganini for violin solo as well as violin and orchestra will be published as a historical-critical edition by the music publisher Doblinger and as a CD under the Genoese label "Dynamic". Hossen plays all concerts exclusively on his preferred Vision Titanium solo strings from the Viennese company Thomastik-Infeld. Prof. Dr. Mario Hossen is the artistic director of the IMF "Varna Summer" and founder of the International Orpheus Summer Academy in Vienna. He plays a violin made by Giovanni Battista Guadagnini in 1749, on loan from the collection of the Oesterreichische Nationalbank.
The Vienna Chamber Orchestra was founded in 1946 and has established itself as one of the world's leading chamber orchestras in the more than 70 years of its existence. The former chief conductor Carlo Zecchi and guest conductors such as Yehudi Menuhin and Sándor Végh were very special and formative partners of the orchestra. The internationally renowned reputation of the Vienna Chamber Orchestra is confirmed by its worldwide tours and regular appearances in almost all major European cities.
