Since the outbreak of Covid-19 in 2020, there were a lot of cancelations of the regular concerts and had to wait for the situation to calm down. Finally, in March 2022, there was an offer from Eisenstadt, where it is well known for the hometown of Haydn, to process the concert with the orchestra. At the same time, there was also a suggestion from Schoenbrunn Palace Theater. Therefore, from 2023, the subscription concert will be held in Haydn Hall and Schoenbrunn Palace Theater.
We are all looking forward to the newly formed 2023 Euro Sinfonietta Vienna Orchestra.
