Concilium Musicum
The Concilium musicum Wien is an Austrian orchestra that was founded in 1982 by Paul Angerer and Christoph Angerer to perform musical works from the 18th century.
In the course of its existence, the ensemble's repertoire has expanded continuously. Today the Concilium musicum Vienna is known for its extensive musical spectrum - from music of the baroque era to dance music of the 19th century. It brings music from the archives to life, performs music by unjustly forgotten composers and brings rarely played works of the great classics back into the public eye. The ensemble plays on original instruments from before and around 1800.
In the 25 years of its existence, the Concilium musicum Vienna has performed more than 2,300 in over 500 cities. In Vienna alone the Concilium musicum Wien performed in 53 different rooms. In recent years it has played 540 works by 240 composers, including 125 works by Joseph Haydn , 50 by Johann Michael Haydn and 100 works by Wolfgang Amadé Mozart .
