Artist Introduction
Conductor｜Riccardo MUTI
This year’s concert in the Musikverein in Vienna takes place under the baton of Italian conductor Riccardo MUTI, who has been working with the Vienna Philharmonic since 1971. Riccardo MUTI has already conducted over 500 concerts with the orchestra and has even been named an 'Honorary Member' of the Vienna Philharmonic. This will be his sixth New Year’s Concert (following the concerts in 1993, 1997, 2000, 2004 and 2018).
There is perhaps no other musical ensemble more closely associated with the history and tradition of European classical music than the Vienna Philharmonic. In the course of the past 177 years, this orchestra has experienced and influenced the course of musical history around the world. Even to this day, prominent soloists and conductors refer to the unique "Viennese Sound" as the outstanding quality that sets it apart from other orchestras.
This success story had its origins in the desire to found a symphony orchestra dedicated to the ideal of performing at the highest level the symphonies of the Viennese classical composers, particularly Ludwig van BEETHOVEN. This artistic goal could only be implemented through the enthusiastic affirmation of the musicians of the Vienna Court Opera Orchestra, who in 1842 made the decision to present "Philharmonic Concerts", independently of their duties at the opera theater and within a framework of complete artistic and entrepreneurial autonomy. This produced a structure based on democratic principles in which all aspects of the decision-making process rest in the hands of the musicians themselves.
The inimitability of the orchestra's sound is also based on the singular relationship between the Vienna Philharmonic and the Vienna State Opera Orchestra. One of the orchestra's founding principles is that only a musician from the opera orchestra can become a member of the Vienna Philharmonic. The musicians are required to perform in both orchestras, and to this day, every future Philharmonic musician begins his or her career with an audition for the Vienna State Opera Orchestra and only after a three-year waiting period becomes eligible for full membership in the Vienna Philharmonic.
Since 1870, the Golden Hall of the Musikverein in Vienna, with its unique aesthetic and acoustical characteristics, has proven to be the ideal venue for Vienna Philharmonic concerts. The orchestra's first foreign tour took place in 1900 with a concert tour to Paris under the baton of Gustav MAHLER. Another memorable year was 1922, which saw not only the orchestra's first participation at the Salzburg Festival, but also the first overseas tour to South America. This marked the beginning of an active touring schedule which has taken the orchestra to all continents on the globe and in recent years has included regularly scheduled concerts in Germany, Japan, the USA and, in the future, China.
The orchestra has been the recipient of numerous prizes and awards. Since 2008, it has been supported by its exclusive sponsor ROLEX.
The Vienna Philharmonic performs approximately 40 concerts in Vienna annually, among them the New Year's Concert and the Summer Night Concert Schönbrunn, which are broadcast in numerous countries around the world. The orchestra also has an annual summer residency at the Salzburg Festival and performs more than 50 concerts a year on its international tours. All of these activities underscore the reputation of the Vienna Philharmonic as one of the world's finest orchestras.
Warm-up Concert｜A Root
A Root is a world fusion ensemble that brings together the Sheng, Ruan, Liuqin, Piano, Double Bass, and World Percussions since 2016. Incorporating with Taiwanese and Western instrumental music, the ensemble creates soundscapes crossing musical cultures and geographical borders. It combines jazz, indie, and urban folk into a unique expression of world music in between modern and traditional. Transforming the spirit from traditional music and sharing the taste of Taiwan that roots in our subconscious, making us who we are today.
A Root is composed of professional musicians from Taiwan who are proficient in creative musical storytelling inspired by environment and space. With different artistic backgrounds and life experiences, the five music artists reunite in their hometown, Yilan, as a point of departure to experiment and create a new spectrum of music.
We start from finding local voices in Taiwan,
and reach out to resonate with the world.
