40 Years of Wiener Mozart Konzert – Featured on ORF “Wien heute”

40 Years of Wiener Mozart Konzert on ORF
On 12 November 2026, ORF 2 Vienna dedicated a feature to the Wiener Mozart Konzert in its programme “Wien heute”: thousands of concerts and millions of people in the audience – that is the record of 40 years of Wiener Mozart Konzert.

A Birthday at the Musikverein
The milestone birthday was celebrated in the same style as our concerts themselves: at the Vienna Musikverein, with music of the Viennese Classical era, performed in historical costumes and wigs.
The feature includes interviews with Gerald Grünbacher, who founded the Wiener Mozart Konzert in 1986, Philipp Grünbacher, who runs the family business today, and Norbert Kettner, Director of the Vienna Tourist Board.

From Schönbrunn to the World
Over four decades, the Wiener Mozart Konzert has performed at Schönbrunn and at the Vienna State Opera and has toured internationally. On stage are musicians from the ranks of the Vienna Philharmonic and the Vienna Symphony as well as freelance artists.
We thank ORF for this wonderful feature – and all the guests who have been with us since 1986.
