Many congratulations to Markus Poschner on his appointment as new Chief Conductor of the ORF Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra starting 2026/27! POSCHNER and the orchestra already share a long and highly successful collaboration, as he himself outlines: “I have felt very close to the Vienna RSO for many years, we have experienced unforgettable musical highlights, toured together, received important prizes and awards, and every time I am thrilled by the special quality, dedication, passion and artistry of this orchestra. .... I hope and trust that the political decision-makers are aware of the inestimable value of the Vienna RSO for Austria, indeed for the whole world, and I appeal to everyone to continue to support and stand up for this great orchestra in the future. The Vienna RSO is part of Austria and Austria is a part of the Vienna RSO!”
