Interesting concert programmes that always reveal current developments through premieres of new music mark the programming direction of the ORF Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra (RSO Wien), which brings musical diversity at the highest level. In the 2026/2027 concert season, German conductor Markus Poschner took over the post of the Orchestra's chief conductor from Marin Alsop, who had held it from 2019.
The Orchestra has its subscription series in Vienna’s prestigious Musikverein and Konzerthaus halls, performs regularly at festivals in Austria and on international tours, and its albums have received valuable recording awards such as the ICMA, Diapason d’Or and Opus Klassik. Numerous renowned conductors and soloists have collaborated with the Orchestra: Kirill Petrenko, Simone Young, Daniil Trifonov, Hilary Hahn and Anna Netrebko...
The first chief conductor of the Orchestra, founded in 1969, was Croatian conductor Milan Horvat (until 1975). Forty years later, the Orchestra was given its present name, which highlights Vienna. After more than twenty years (they appeared here in May 2005), the Orchestra members return to Zagreb with their new chief conductor Markus Poschner. The charismatic violinist Nemanja Radulović, who performed in Zagreb eleven years ago, also in the Saturday at Lisinski series, will appear as the soloist. He will present the central work from his recent album featuring music by Sergei Prokofiev released in March 2026 (and the Violin Concerto No. 2 is the focus of that selection).
The programme will connect Prokofiev with Johannes Brahms’s Symphony No. 4, the music with which Brahms in a way bid farewell to the world at a concert by the Vienna Philharmonic, which performed the work one month before his death. He himself conducted its premiere in Meiningen, Germany, twelve years earlier. The audience there was captivated by the power and scope of what is considered his most expressive and tragic symphonic work.
The concert will open with a recent work by Margareta Ferek-Petrić, a native of Zagreb who lives and works in Vienna. Reconstruction of a Rhapsode's Mind, premiered in Germany in 2024, uses the term rhapsode from ancient Greek terminology, and the composer creates an imagined musical dialogue between something existing (safe and familiar) and abstract (unusual and experimental). The richly orchestrated work hints at various rhapsodies from the history of music (classical, pop and jazz) through quasi-quotation fragments and reflects contemporary society, which constantly questions the perception of beauty.
