The musicians of the wind quintet “Vienna Wind Ensemble” first met on a tour and sensed already after the first rehearsal for solo positions in the orchestra that they harmonize with each other both from musical and human points of view. Shortly thereafter came the idea to start a wind quintet: The Vienna Wind Ensemble was born!

The musicians from Austria, Germany and Hungary dedicated themselves in the first place to delivering the works of the Viennese Classic. In April 2012 the ensemble placed first at the International Camber Music Competition “Cameristi dell´Alpe Adria”.
