Description
Public concert life began in Vienna when Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde (translated in English to Society of Friends of the Music) was founded in 1812 by Joseph Sonnleithner, general secretary of the Court Theatre in Vienna. Until then concerts were restricted to aristocratic homes. It's official charter drafted in 1814 states that the purpose of the society was to promote music in all it's facets.
This magnificent concert hall was commissioned by the society after previous locations had become too small. The venue is now the home of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.
