The piece premiered on May 15, 2016, at the Wiener Konzerthaus in Vienna, Austria, with cellist Friedrich Kleinhapl as the soloist and the Wiener KammerOrchester conducted by Johannes Meissl.

The concerto showcases the technical and expressive capabilities of the cello, with the soloist performing a range of techniques, including pizzicato, harmonics, and double stops. The chamber orchestra provides a rich and colorful accompaniment, with the use of various percussion instruments, including marimba, vibraphone, and glockenspiel, adding to the piece's unique sound. Overall, the Concerto for cello & chamber orchestra (ViolonChallenges), Op. 24, is a dynamic and engaging work that highlights the virtuosity of the cello and the versatility of the chamber orchestra.
