Passionate, vibrant, and inspiring – the concert Rising Stars of Classical Music at the MuTh was once again a highlight of the Young Masters program in 2025.
Young musicians from the mdw – University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna and the Johann Sebastian Bach Music School thrilled the audience with youthful energy, refined ensemble playing, and deeply moving musicality.

The diverse program spanned from Mozart and Telemann to Mendelssohn, all the way to Max Nagl’s impressive Saxophone Concerto, performed with virtuosity by Sophia Bachl.
Whether chamber music or large wind ensemble – each performance was a testament to the powerful impact of music played from the heart.

The audience responded with enthusiastic applause, expressing their appreciation for an evening full of joyful performance and artistic diversity.

A heartfelt thank-you to the Lions Club Vienna for their ongoing support of this special benefit concert15
