Following its great success in 2019, the Concert Spirituel returns to Vienna for another edition of the acclaimed concert series, inspired by one of Europe’s earliest public musical traditions. The event takes place on November 21 and 22, 2025, at the magnificent Minoritenkirche, a Gothic landmark renowned for its exceptional acoustics and intimate atmosphere.

Under the direction of Dmitry Sitkovetsky, the Les Orpheistes Orchestra will present a rich and varied program spanning centuries of musical brilliance. The evening will feature performances by violinists Amira Abouzahra and Mariam Abouzahra, alongside Maestro Sitkovetsky both as conductor and soloist.

The Concert Spirituel tradition, dating back to 1725 in Paris, revolutionized the European concert landscape, shaping the public’s musical sensibilities and inspiring similar series across the continent — from London to Vienna.
