The annual concerts held by the Concilium musicum Vienna in the ceremonial hall of the Austrian Academy of Sciences represent an early climax in Vienna’s concert ca- lendar. To open the 40th Haydn cycle of the Haydn Society in Vienna, period instruments play minuets by Johann Michael Haydn, the Sinfonia concertante for Violin, Oboe, Bassoon, Cello and Orchestra by Joseph Haydn and the Symphony in C major ‘Jupiter’ KV 551 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Paul Angerer conducts the di- stinguished ensemble with the soloists Christoph Angerer, violin, Susanne Regel, oboe, Katrin Lazar, bassoon and Ute Groh, cello.
