Beethoven powers Vienna orchestra across China

As Vienna's cultural ambassador and concert orchestra, the Wiener Symphoniker (Vienna Symphony) handles the lion's share of symphonic activity that makes up the musical life of the Austrian capital.

The 117-year-old orchestra was the first concert orchestra in Vienna. Together with the renowned Vienna Philharmonic, which is more famous for its opera productions, the symphony is known for the traditional "Vienna sound".

The program for their upcoming show in Beijing will mainly include symphonies by Beethoven (1770-1827) as this year marks the 190th anniversary of the death of the most important composer.
