Vienna (OTS) – The ORF Radio Symphony Orchestra Vienna and the Carinthian Summer are entering into a multi-year partnership. From 2024, the ORF RSO Vienna will become the resident orchestra of the Carinthian Music Festival, announced artistic director Nadja Kayali and the artistic director of the ORF RSO Vienna, Angelika Möser.
“The new partnership with the ORF RSO Vienna is a matter close to my heart and an enormous benefit for our festival. The ORF Radio Symphony Orchestra Vienna is one of the most outstanding orchestras in the country. It has an incomparably broad range of styles; this orchestra can play everything from classical to contemporary music. The ORF RSOWien as a festival orchestra is a guarantee for large orchestral projects at the highest level over several years. “In this way we can develop a real collaboration that is truly sustainable,” says Nadja Kayali, director of the Carinthian Summer.
Angelika Möser, artistic director of the ORF RSO Vienna, is also convinced of the success of the collaboration: “The Carinthian Summer – like our orchestra – stands for a diverse musical offering. We are particularly pleased that the ORF RSO Vienna will now be heard regularly in Carinthia. As an orchestra for Austria, contact with music-loving people across the country is particularly important to us.”
Under the direction of the Portuguese conductor Joana Carneiro, the ORF Radio Symphony Orchestra Vienna will perform for the first time in its new role as the festival orchestra of the Carinthian Summer on July 6, 2024 at the Congress Center Villach. The concert evening is dedicated to women in music, especially female composers: with romantic-symphonic works by Fanny Hensel, Clara Schumann, Louise Farrenc and a world premiere by the young composer Hannah Eisendle, who is currently working at the Klagenfurt City Theater. The soloist in Clara Schumann’s only piano concerto is the American pianist Claire Huangci.
The festival begins and closes with a concert by the ORF RSO Vienna. On August 4th, the British conductor Wayne Marshall will lead the RSO Vienna in an evening with George Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue”, in which the Brit himself will take on the solo piano part. Monumental film music by John Williams can also be heard – from the “Harry Potter” films to Steven Spielberg’s classics such as “Star Wars”, “Schindler’s List”, “ET” and “Indiana Jones”.
