The ECMS
Continuing the successful development of recent concert seasons in the Ehrbar Hall, the Ehrbar Chamber Music Society Vienna begins its 2025/26 season.
Founded by pianist Biliana Tzinlikova, violinist Klara Flieder, and cellist Christophe Pantillon, the ECMS has now established a clear artistic profile.
The coming season will feature familiar musicians as well as new names, adding exciting perspectives to the series. The promotion of young talent remains a central concern and an essential part of the artistic vision. The 2025/26 season will feature the multi-award-winning Austrian violinist Leonhard Baumgartner with duo partner Liam Dugelay, as well as mezzo-soprano Maria Hegele, winner of the 2025 Haydn Singing Competition.
The ECMS stands for stylistic diversity, artistic excellence, and inspiring, friendly musical encounters on stage. The concert series continues to focus on the great standard repertoire of piano chamber music, enriched by rarities from the fringes of the established repertoire.
The Ehrbar Hall has become one of the most popular venues for top-class chamber music performances in Vienna. The Ehrbar Chamber Music Society is a centre of attraction for a discerning audience.
The Ehrbar Hall
The Ehrbar Hall is considered one of the best chamber music halls in Vienna and has a corresponding profile in terms of music history. The restoration of the hall and the entire complex, which now shine in new splendour, offers audiences and performing artists a highly attractive and acoustically first-class setting for musical encounters. The Ehrbar Chamber Music Society has chosen this very special concert venue as the focus of its artistic intentions.
The centrepiece of the concert series is the great standard repertoire of piano chamber music. Chamber music literature is offered around this already extremely rich centre, which is thematically or historically related to the selected works.
High-calibre musicians from the large circle of colleagues and friends of the three core members of the ECMS take part in the concerts as guests.
