The Orchester Wiener Akademie is presented regularly in Vienna with their annual
Musikverein concert series and in some of the most prestigious festivals, such as
Frankfurt,
Schleswig-Holstein,
Internationale Bachakademie Stuttgart, Klangbogen, the
Carinthischer Sommer, Cuenca Festival, Handel Festival Halle and the
Festival Internacional Cervantino. The association is the resident-orchestra of the
International Festival of Liszt, whose mission is to perform and record the whole repertoire of orchestral music from
Franz Liszt. Its first release,
The Sound of Weimar, was in January 2011. It included the
Dante Symphony and honored the 200th anniversary of Liszt's birth.
The Sound of Weimar was awarded the "Grand Prix du Disque Franz Liszt" twice. For the Orchestra, the opera is an important genre. It has recently interpreted works by
Mozart,
Schubert and
Haydn, such as
Symphony No. 40 (Mozart),
Symphony No. 5 (Schubert), and
Symphony No. 6 (Haydn). Since 2009, the Orchestra has collaborated with
John Malkovich in the plays
The Infernal Comedy and
The Giacomo Variations. ==Discography==
