    Overview

    Vienna occupied the heart of a vast empire during the years in whichthe works in this programme were conceived, one held together by acurious mix of repression, incompetence and time-honoured traditions.The Habsburg Empire, for all its faults, provided ideal conditions for aremarkable flourishing of music and musicians.

    Prisma Wien, foundedin 2006 as a flexible ensemble dedicated to playfulness, truth andvision, makes its Wigmore Hall debut under the direction of violinistThomas Fheodoroff. Their programme is cut from rich material, completewith Haydn’s dramatic scena Arianna a Naxos and Dvořák’s BiblicalSongs performed by Wigmore Hall favourite Bernarda Fink.

    This concert will be followed by the annual Patron Friends dinner. To book for thedinner please contact the Friends Office on 020 7258 8230.

    With grateful thanks to the Supporter, Benefactor and Patron Friends of Wigmore Hall
