On the occasion of the 175th anniversary of the Vienna Philharmonic, Clemens Hellsberg highlights the diverse relationships of the orchestra with Salzburg. Salzburg holds a special place in the history of the Vienna Philharmonic: it was here that they performed outside of Vienna for the first time in 1877, adding a special brilliance to the Salzburg Music Festivals until 1910. In 1920, they played a benefit concert for the financially struggling Salzburg Festival House community. In 1922, the Vienna Philharmonic brought opera performances to the festivals for the first time, and since 1925, their summer residence in Salzburg has been a fixed point in the orchestra's annual calendar. Since then, the Vienna Philharmonic has set the musical standard for which the Salzburg Festival is famous, with approximately 2,200 opera performances and 800 concerts. As a musician, but also as a historian, Clemens Hellsberg tells of this variety.
