The Vienna Philharmonic (Wiener Philharmoniker) is one of the world's most prestigious orchestras, founded in 1842 by Otto Nicolai. Based at the famous Musikverein in Vienna, Austria, the orchestra has maintained its unique character and sound for over 180 years. The VPO operates under a democratic structure where members are selected from the Vienna State Opera orchestra and collectively make decisions about conductors, programs, and soloists. The orchestra has never had a permanent conductor since 1933, instead working with distinguished guest conductors. Known for its New Year's Concert broadcast worldwide, the Vienna Philharmonic continues to be an integral part of Vienna's rich musical heritage. Source: Rondo DB
