Works by Detlev Glanert and Anton Bruckner are on the bill of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra's first orchestral concert, which is to be conducted by the well known German conductor Markus Stenz.

The second concert sees the welcome return of the eccentric Greek conductor Teodor Currentzis, who caused a sensation with his interpretation of Weinberg's opera The Passenger at the Bregenz Festival of 2010.

The Austrian composer and conductor HK Gruber, whose opera Tales from the Vienna Woods will be staged at the Festspielhaus in 2013, will conduct the third concert, which features music by Hanns Eisler and Kurt Weill plus one work of his own.
