Concentus Musicus Wien

For more than 60 years, Concentus Musicus Wien was the home port of its founder Nikolaus Harnoncourt and the departure point for his musical journey. Characterised by its intensity and its authentic, vibrant interpretation of great works of music, the ensemble’s approach has always been deeply rooted in Harnoncourt’s demand that each and every member of the group engage in the creative process and personally understand why things should be done in a particular way. As a result, the ensemble itself became an active musical partner, infused with the spirit of each work. Inevitably, the group developed its own highly distinctive musical language.
