Rising Stars
They are young, highly talented and have incredible musical energy: every year, the ECHO (European Concert Hall Organization) names the most promising young musicians as “Rising Stars”. For one season, they go on tour through the great concert halls of Europe – and of course, they also stop off at the Musikverein, where schoolchildren can attend their evening concert.

Backstage | Onstage
What kind of people are those who are driven by their great love of music? Who puts themselves in the spotlight every day and suffers from stage fright? Conductors, soloists and orchestral musicians chat from the inside during artist talks. They answer questions, talk about their extraordinary everyday life, their journey and, of course, about the music. After the talk, the young people can see for themselves at an exclusive open dress rehearsal of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, the ORF Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra and the Tonkünstler Orchestra of Lower Austria. Teachers are provided with introductions to the works to prepare for the event visit in class.

Archive goes to school
The Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde and its home, the Musikverein, have written music history: it was in contact with Ludwig van Beethoven, Johannes Brahms was “artistic director”, Anton Bruckner taught here, Gustav Mahler conducted, and Johann Strauss Sohn held his concerts. Archive director Johannes Prominczel takes one school class at a time on interactive forays into the past using original music manuscripts and objects from one of the most essential music collections in the world.
For grades 9 to 13 (upper secondary level)
