Vienna Philharmonic

The Vienna Philharmonic held its first concert in the spring of 1842. Also, Vienna was always a musically talented city. This is because it has been home to such world-class musicians as Mozart, Beethoven, and Haydn. Before its founding, musicians could not perform professional concerts. So they were in theaters and ensembles created for specific occasions. When Otto Nicolai conducted a Grand Concert in 1842, he was also launching the Philharmonic Academy. It was the birth of the modern day orchestra.
