More contact for young people with New Music: We invite music teachers and their classes of senior pupils to visit our dress rehearsals at the Wiener Konzerthaus for the 2025/26 season. Together with musicians from the ensemble , music educators will prepare the pupils for the rehearsal visit in an interactive and motivating way and will come directly to the school for a double lesson. The dress rehearsals offer low-threshold, informal access to the concerts and allow special insights behind the scenes when the ensemble is still fine-tuning the music together with the conductors - and often also with the composers of the performed works themselves.
