ORF Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra
The ORF Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra is a top orchestra of world renown. It defines itself in the Vienna orchestral tradition. Cornelius Meister took over as Principal Conductor and Artistic Director in September 2010. The Vienna RSO is known for its exceptional, bold programming. By combining 19th century repertoire with contemporary pieces and rarely performed works of other periods, the programming often places Romantic era classics in unexpected contexts.


All Vienna RSO performances are broadcast on the radio, particularly on the Osterreich 1 station, but also internationally. Moreover, it has been possible to hear each and every RSO concert across the globe on the internet for one week after the initial broadcast. Through its growing presence on European television, as well as its collaboration with the FM4 young people's station, the RSO is constantly reaching out to new music lovers. Approximately 1,000 fans support the "Friends of the RSO" association.


The RSO regularly performs in two subscription series in Vienna, in the Musikverein and the Konzerthaus. In addition, it appears every year at major Austrian and international festivals. The orchestra has close ties to the Salzburg Festival, the Wiener Festwochen, musikprotokoll im steirischen herbst and Wien Modern. Tours to Japan and China are a regular part of the RSO schedule as well. The orchestra has also recently played concerts in Thailand and the USA, South America and Germany at the Berlin, Cologne and Essen Philharmonic Halls among others. Since 2007, the RSO has successfully collaborated with the Theater an der Wien, thereby gaining an excellent reputation as an opera orchestra. Yet the RSO is also entirely at home in the film music genre. Every year, the orchestra is conducted by composers who have won an Oscar for Best Achievement in Music Written for Motion Pictures. In 2012, the RSO recorded the soundtrack to the film Die Vermessung der Welt (Measuring the World) and in 2016 it was actively involved in two features films: Kater (Tomcat) by Handl Klaus, winner of the Teddy Award at the Berlin International Film Festival, and Die Getraumten by Ruth Beckermann.
