New Classics Sinfonia is proud to present its second concert of 2025, "Tales of Vienna", which will delight the audience with classics from the late 18th and early 19th century.

Tales of Vienna begins with Mozart's Marriage of Figaro overture to set the scene, followed by a duo of Symphonies, Schubert's Symphony No. 5 in Bb and Ferdinand Ries' Symphony No. 2 in C minor. All three composers lived, worked, studied or performed in Vienna during the time these great works were written, so what better way to revisit Vienna at a time when it was the musical capital of the world then by joining us for this classic, classical selection.

Join us for a special evening, full of Viennese elegance, charming melodies and bolstering 19th century rhythms.
