Klangkollektiv Vienna is an innovative chamber orchestra that departs from conventional norms with
a uniquely pluralistic approach. Celebrating the rich tapestry of the First Viennese School,
Klangkollektiv Wien offers a fresh perspective by focusing on both well-known and lesser-known
works of the First Viennese School. It was founded in 2018 by Norbert Täubl, clarinetist and member
of the Vienna Philharmonic, and the French conductor and violinist Rémy Ballot, based in Vienna.
The orchestra is characterized by its unique blend of young, independent talent and seasoned orchestral musicians. It brings together renowned instrumentalists from the most prominent Viennese orchestras.
As both conductor and violinist, Rémy Ballot brings a wealth of experience and insightful expertise to
the ensemble with a profound understanding and deep knowledge of the works and their intrinsic
logic. Considered one of the finest Bruckner conductors of his generation, Rémy Ballot's artistry has
been widely acclaimed. As the exclusive conductor of the Klangkollektiv Vienna, he encourages the
ensemble to push the boundaries of their artistry through experimental programming and
unconventional contextualization. Under his sensitive and insightful direction, the Klangkollektiv
Vienna delves deep into the essence of each work, seeking the inner logic and finesse of ensemble
playing. With a broad artistic vision, it aims to explore its diverse landscape beyond the confines of the
routine and breathe new life into familiar compositions. This collaborative and passionate quest for
musical understanding gives rise to a new orchestral perspective, characterized by mutual trust, joyous
performances, meticulous care, and profound love for the craft.
The Klangkollektiv's repertoire focuses on the works that are historically associated with the musical
legacies of Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven. Additionally, as a figure closely related to the Romantic era,
Franz Schubert holds an important place in its current programming. This choice reflects the desire to
deeply connect with the musical heritage of the home city Vienna.
One of the orchestra's standout qualities is the unique sound produced by its exceptional string section.
The delicate balance, nuanced phrasing, and meticulous attention to detail of the string players result
in a truly remarkable sonic experience.
Notably, Klangkollektiv Vienna has released four CDs featuring works by Haydn, Mozart, Schubert,
and Beethoven. They have embarked on a long-term project to complete a full Schubert symphony
cycle, with the upcoming release of their second Schubert CD in 2024.
Klangkollektiv Vienna performs at prestigious festivals and music halls such as the Vienna
Konzerthaus, Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, and Prinzregententheater, amongst others.
