Listening to Classical Music while in Vienna is a must-do!

4.00We wanted to attend classical music performance while visiting Vienna. The Catholic Church was a beautiful venue, and the all women musicians were truly talented. As this was an advent concert, I would have appreciated hearing some Christmas music incorporated into the program. I believe it would have been a wonderful addition to the performance.
Not what I expected

2.00I wanted to do a musical event while in the city of music, Vienna. I chose this Advent concert. It was very slow, with only one of the numbers recognizable to me, an American.
Very poor acoustic set up

1.00A marvellous venue & no doubt a talented bunch of musicians. However, the acoustic set up was so poor that we couldn’t clearly hear the music or narrative. We left after half an hour along with several others. Would not recommend.
Wonderful concert
