THE KONZERTHAUS

When, in 1913, the Vienna Konzerthaus was officially opened it was one of the most modern buildings in the Danube Monarchy. Architecturally the Konzerthaus presented a rare combination of Historism, Secessionism and Art Nouveau styles. The Vienna Konzerthaus is one of the largest and most artistically progressive institutions in international musical life and with its unique atmosphere the Vienna Konzerthaus attracts many artists from the international music scene. In the heart of the building (which consists of more than 600 rooms) lies the Konzerthaus’s flagship, the Great Hall. Designed with a sense of space and classical balance, its stage provides the setting for the unique EHA concert. In this room, artists, audiences and atmosphere blend into a harmonious triad.
