21.12.13. THE PHILHARMONIC AT LISINSKI

What do you get when you combine members of the Vienna and Berlin Philharmonisc? An adventure without limits, and for sure one of the most exciting ensembles on the classical music scene. Concerts of The Philharmonics ensemble gather lovers of classical music and further more - the seven virtuosos offer to their audience classical sound and technical excellence which they merge with the inexhaustible treasury of folk music, ethno inspirations and intriguing dances. Tibor Kovač, the founder and the leader of the ensemble, withal the first violinist of the Vienna Philharmonics, gathered the ensemble six years ago and since then he has been preaching his musical beliefs: the legacy of the Austro-Hungarian classical music he leads all the way back to its folk roots. In that way, their arrangements get an added value of the sociological context from which they aroused in the first place, and their performances often became real magical improvisations. This multiethnical ensemble performed at most prestigious festivals in Vienna, Paris, Munich, Ravenna (on the invitation of Riccardo Mutti), Saint Petersburg (on the invitation of Valery Gergiev). Since 2011 The Philharmonics have been regularly  performing in Vienna's Konzerthaus, and in 2012 they played in the intermission of the famous New Year's Concert of the Vienna Philharmonics. They album entitled Waltzes was released by Accentus in 2011, and their last album called Fascination Dance was published by Deutsche Grammophon.
