The Vienna Promenade Orchestra is a classical music ensemble that has been captivating audiences with their performances for over 20 years. The orchestra was founded in 1999 by conductor and violinist, Wolfgang Bozic, who had a vision of creating a world-class orchestra that would showcase the beauty and elegance of Viennese music. Bozic, who was born in Vienna, Austria, began his musical career at a young age. He studied violin at the Vienna Conservatory and later went on to study conducting at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna. Bozic's passion for Viennese music was instilled in him from a young age, as he grew up listening to the music of Johann Strauss II, Franz Lehár, and other great composers of the Viennese waltz. With his extensive knowledge of Viennese music and his exceptional talent as a conductor and violinist, Bozic set out to create an orchestra that would bring the music of Vienna to audiences around the world. He assembled a group of talented musicians, many of whom were also from Vienna, and the Vienna Promenade Orchestra was born. The orchestra's first performance was in Vienna in 1999, and it was an instant success. Audiences were captivated by the orchestra's beautiful sound and the energy and passion that Bozic brought to each performance. The orchestra quickly gained a reputation as one of the best Viennese orchestras in the world, and they began to tour extensively, performing in some of the most prestigious concert halls and music festivals around the globe. Over the years, the Vienna Promenade Orchestra has performed in some of the world's most iconic venues, including Carnegie Hall in New York, the Royal Albert Hall in London, and the Sydney Opera House in Australia. They have also performed at numerous music festivals, including the Salzburg Festival, the Edinburgh International Festival, and the Hong Kong Arts Festival. One of the highlights of the Vienna Promenade Orchestra's career was their performance at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. They were invited to perform at the opening ceremony, where they played a medley of Viennese waltzes and other classical pieces. The performance was watched by millions of people around the world and was widely praised for its beauty and elegance. In addition to their performances, the Vienna Promenade Orchestra has also received numerous awards and accolades over the years. They have been awarded the Austrian Cross of Honour for Science and Art, and they have been named the official orchestra of the Vienna State Opera Ball, one of the most prestigious events in the Viennese social calendar. Despite their success, the Vienna Promenade Orchestra remains committed to their mission of bringing the music of Vienna to audiences around the world. They continue to tour extensively, and they have released several albums of Viennese music, including their most recent album, "Vienna Dreams," which was released in 2020.
