Philharmonix

What unites the first-class musicians of the Berlin and Vienna Philharmonic is their passion for music - but not just their enjoyment of the classical repertoire: their program extends far beyond this. In their brilliant new versions, they also tackle jazz and Latin, Jewish folk music, Hollywood melodies and pop. Whether the Philharmonix are adapting pop songs or Viennese songs, Prokofiev or Tchaikovsky, Gershwin or Piazzolla: classical music couldn't be more entertaining, entertaining or clever. Their music is characterized by the sound aesthetics and tradition of the top orchestras for which they usually work: Thilo Fechner (viola), Daniel Ottensamer (clarinet) and Ödön Rácz (double bass) play with the Vienna Philharmonic, Stephan Koncz (cello) and Noah Bendix-Balgley (violin) with the Berlin Philharmonic. They are joined by the outstanding soloists Christoph Traxler (piano) and Sebastian Gürtler (violin), who writes most of the new arrangements. They have all won numerous prizes and prestigious classical music competitions. When they are on stage together as Philharmonix, the audience wins: when else does the audience in the concert hall move to the rhythm of the ensemble, laugh at original interjections, cheer with enthusiasm - and listen to world-class music at the same time?
