ORF RSO Wien – Markus Poschner – Dmitrij Schostakowitsch – Musikverein Wien, Vienna

About this event

This concert is part of the newly introduced series "Poschners Meilensteine" (Poschner’s Milestones), created to offer a focused, intensive, and accessible musical experience. Beginning his tenure as Chief Conductor of the ORF Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra in the 2026/27 season, Markus Poschner uses this one-hour, no-intermission format to move beyond traditional concert structures. He integrates concise verbal insights directly into the performance, sharing context, personal fascination, and key ideas about the featured composition before the orchestra plays. The aim is not just to impart knowledge but to show how 20th-century musical milestones connect with contemporary life and human striving.
