www.vienna-saxophonic-orchestra.comThe VIENNA SAXOPHONIC ORCHESTRA was founded in 2009 and is the only professional saxophone orchestra in austria and one of a few in the world.
The VSO brings together 12 of the finest players (amongst them award winners from the most prestigious national and international competitions) who regularly perform with leading orchestras such as Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, the Austrian Radio Symphony Orchestra or the Klangforum Wien, to form a unique ensemble of the highest artistic level. Besides playing transcriptions (i.e. works by J. S. Bach, P. Dukas, G. F. Händel) the VSO has a strong focus on contemporary music and is performing a wide range of New Music for this ensemble and maintains intense collaborations with composers to extend the repertoire.
Artistic Director and conductor is Lars Mlekusch.
