The Original C.M. Ziehrer Orchester is a classical music ensemble that has been delighting audiences with its performances for over 30 years. The ensemble was founded in 1989 by conductor and musicologist, Dr. Christian Pollack, with the aim of reviving the music of Carl Michael Ziehrer, a composer who was once considered the "Waltz King" of Vienna. Ziehrer was a contemporary of Johann Strauss II and was known for his lively and melodic waltzes, polkas, and marches. However, his music had fallen out of favor in the years following his death in 1922. Dr. Pollack, who had studied Ziehrer's music extensively, believed that it deserved to be heard again and set out to create an ensemble that would bring it back to life. The Original C.M. Ziehrer Orchester is made up of a group of highly skilled musicians who are dedicated to preserving and promoting Ziehrer's music. The ensemble's main members include violinists, violists, cellists, bassists, clarinetists, flutists, oboists, bassoonists, and horn players. The ensemble also features a number of guest soloists who perform with the group on occasion. Over the years, the Original C.M. Ziehrer Orchester has performed at some of the most prestigious venues in Europe, including the Musikverein in Vienna, the Konzerthaus in Berlin, and the Royal Albert Hall in London. The ensemble has also toured extensively throughout Europe, Asia, and North America, bringing Ziehrer's music to audiences around the world. One of the highlights of the Original C.M. Ziehrer Orchester's career was its performance at the 1994 Salzburg Festival. The ensemble was invited to perform a program of Ziehrer's music at the festival, which is one of the most important classical music events in the world. The performance was a huge success and helped to raise the profile of Ziehrer's music. In addition to its live performances, the Original C.M. Ziehrer Orchester has also recorded a number of albums of Ziehrer's music. These recordings have been praised for their high quality and have helped to introduce Ziehrer's music to a new generation of listeners. The Original C.M.
