With us, things are different. The Vienna Light Orchestra has youthful, excited musicians who perform from their hearts — and touch hearts every evening. You’ll see us having fun with the audience, clapping, laughing and swaying with songs that are filled with so much joy.” — The Director
From the founder of Vienna Light Orchestra…
“When I was a teenager I wrote a song called Eternal Love. I was spellbound by the sweeping melodies that came flooding through the piano, which has become the rhythm of my life. Today, I’m thrilled to bring a lot of the worlds most beloved music to audiences everywhere. My dream is to help make the entirety of orchestral music enjoyable, fresh and delightful for everyone!”
