Schönberg 150

Schönberg 150

When Wien Modern celebrates Schönberg's birthday in 2024, it will not be retrospective, but very contemporary: For the 150th birthday of the famed Viennese pioneer of New Music, we have invited exciting and vastly different artists to, with the eyes and ears of our time, inquire into Schönberg's impulses and impacts and make them tangible once again.

Arditti 50 postponed

Arditti Quartet

Arditti Quartet

We very much regret that the cellist of the Arditti Quartet broke his arm a few days before the start of the planned major anniversary project ARDITTI 50 (01/02 November 2024 Wiener Konzerthaus, 04/05 November 2024 Musikverein) and wish him a speedy recovery. In view of the quartet's intensive preparations and rehearsals for this project, which have been ongoing for months, we have jointly decided to maintain the integrity of the programme and the quartet and not to look for short-term replacements for parts of the programme.
