The Vienna Symphony Orchestra celebrated their 125th anniversary in the same room that hosted their first concert: the Golden Hall of the Wiener Musikverein. Conductor Petr Popelka leads the ensemble in a variety of memorable works, including a piece played at their first concert, and the orchestra’s most commonly performed work.
