Vienna Philharmonic
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 broadcasted 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.
Sweep Music
Sweep Music is a cross-genre band that primarily uses the pipa as its creative foundation. The band is dedicated to expanding the international visibility of traditional music. Their artistic exploration ranges from classical to cross-genre, modern to medieval, performance to creation, and from the familiar to the unknown. This includes world music, contemporary music, visual arts, film, performing arts, dance, and the integration of art and technology, all of which are deeply explored by Sweep Music.
The band members meticulously construct the emotional arcs of each piece, allowing the music to flow naturally and enabling listeners to immerse themselves in the slow and profound rhythms, reflecting and contemplating. This style is particularly suited for expressing delicate and deep emotions, making each performance rich in drama and introspection. Each performance is akin to a narrative film or a chapter of an emotional novel. At the end of the story, the lingering impressions leave the audience with a lasting impact. This is the charm of Sweep Music's live performances. Even without lyrics, the music conveys a full range of emotions, sometimes passionate, sometimes whispering, which is the narrative tension of the traditional pipa, creating Sweep's unique musical style.
