PHILHARMONIX THE VIENNA-BERLIN MUSIC CLUB
Philharmonix: The Vienna Berlin Music Club
"Highest Philharmonic Quality × Unbridled Musical Passion!" — Kurier (Austria)
What happens when principals from the Vienna Philharmonic and Berlin Philharmonic decide to play off-script?
Presenting the ultimate dream team of the classical world: 7 top principal musicians and virtuoso soloists join forces—they are Philharmonix.
Combining flawless technique with boundless imagination, Philharmonix completely shatters every stereotype of classical music. They don't just play everything—they dare to reinvent it! With custom arrangements crafted by the ensemble members themselves, Beethoven swings, Mozart dances the Turkish step, and the iconic Cantina Band from Star Wars feels as though it has barged straight into the concert hall!
Timeless melodies effortlessly cross boundaries between classical, jazz, tango, and pop, unleashing Philharmonix's signature stage fantasy.
This star-studded ensemble hailing from Vienna and Berlin will sweep through Taipei and Tainan this December!
