Dossiers

The Musikverein – a name that conjures many things: World renowned for the acoustic qualities of the Goldene Saal, gazed upon by millions thanks to the Vienna Philharmonic’s New Year’s Concert. the institution still has many other fascinating stories and details to divulge.
Our dossiers are an invitation to explore all the other facets of the Musikverein’s concert life and to see it from other, perhaps less familiar perspectives.
This is a place where not only music is made, but history has also been written. So sit back and relax, and enjoy the stories!
