On May 5, 2025, the Kiwanis Club Vienna hosted its annual Spring Concert in the grand hall of the House of Industry – and our young musicians delivered a rousing program ranging from the Baroque to the Romantic era.

The Young Masters Ensemble, the Young Wind Masters, and the Young Masters String Quartet impressed the audience with varied instrumentations, rich tonal color, and spirited performances.
A particular highlight was the world premiere of Max Nagl’s Saxophone Concerto, performed with great virtuosity by Sophia Bachl.

The concert also served as a musical gesture of gratitude to the Kiwanis Club Vienna, which has been supporting our young talents for many years by providing valuable loan instruments – a form of support that plays a vital role in their artistic development.
