24 musicians from 10 different countries form Klangforum Wien, an ensemble for contemporary classical music founded in 1985 by Beat Furrer and based in Vienna.

"…whenever Klangforum Wien performs a work it makes the most of it. I have always admired the ensemble for this approach. It is always truly committed and takes plenty of time."
Sylvain Cambreling

"These are people who can turn any score into a masterpiece; the musicality, the polish, the warmth and skill are breathtaking."
Financial Times

"In the same venue Klangforum Wien, one of the most experienced European contemporary music groups, conducted by Sylvain Cambreling, played Birtwistle’s "Secret Theatre" as if their very souls depended on it."
