How does nature sound in music, how do the feelings it awakens in us sound? Chief conductor Fabien Gabel explores this question with the Tonkünstler Orchestra – and has chosen three of the most beautiful examples for this purpose.

As a “remembrance of country life” with a murmuring brook, birdsong, and dancing country folk, Ludwig van Beethoven's Sixth Symphony is inspired by stays in Nussdorf and Grinzing. Not far away is Im Sommerwind – a late Romantic enchanting nature piece by Anton Webern. Delicate connections lead to Threadsuns, a work for viola and orchestra by the South Korean composer Donghoon Shin. The violist Amihai Grosz shapes this sensitive dirge, whose title refers to a famous poem by Paul Celan.

Amihai Grosz began his career as a founding member of the Jerusalem Quartet and is now the principal violist of the Berlin Philharmonic as well as an internationally sought-after guest with various orchestras. From the summer of 2025, Fabien Gabel will take on the role of chief conductor of the Tonkünstler-Orchester Niederösterreich. The French conductor has worked with orchestras around the world and is known for his precise and energetic style as well as his diverse programming.
