programme is classical. But
everything has class.
Classical music is not supposed to be fun,
right? And yet, every concert of the Philhar-
monix is a living, grooving, finger-snapping
testament to the contrary.
Surprise! Classical music at its most refined
can be a jolly good time.

members of the Vienna Philharmonic, two
Berlin Philharmonic soloists, one of the most
versatile Austrian pianists and an improvising
and singing violinist for a deliciously heady
cocktail of classical, klezmer, Latin, even pop
music and yes, good old fun. Sting, Queen,
Grieg and Tchaikovsky are all just as likely to
be performed at a Philharmonix concert.
see on the playbill of their legendary orche-

synonymous with ‘entertainment’. The Golden
Rule of the Philharmonix’ programmes: Anyt-
hing goes, as long as it’s fun.
