With great pride and a lot of joy in performing, the Young Masters performed the annual gala concert of the Lions Club on the beautiful stage of the MuTh. On 21 May 2026, students from the mdw and the Johann Sebastian Bach Music School delighted our loyal Lions audience with a programme ranging from Mozart and Haydn to Strauss, and also J. Lennon & P. McCartney. The different ensembles—from duos and quartets to the large 16-member Young Masters Ensemble—were able to present both delicate and energetic interpretations with great success. 👏🥳

We would like to thank the Lions Club Vienna for their ongoing support 🤩
