Meet Philharmonie Austin
Philharmonie Austin
Philharmonie Austin is comprised of many of the country’s finest period performance players.
We have been bringing exciting and transcendent performances to Austin for over twenty years.
Under the direction of conductor Mark Dupere, the group explores a wide array of repertoire from early baroque to early 20th century, often
in collaboration with the Philharmonie Austin Chorus. Philharmonie Austin produces performances that enliven the soul, as the musicians draw on a diverse wealth of knowledge from generations of performance practice research, bringing this into the live performance sphere. In addition to often-performed works, the orchestra is committed to exploring new areas of performance practice in later music. The priority of each Philharmonie Austin performance is generous and communicative music-making, bringing older musical language to life for today’s audience.
Notable performances have included Mendelssohn’s Elijah, the complete Orchestral Suites and Brandenburg Concertos of Bach, Rameau’s Dardanus Suite, Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony and Fourth Piano Concerto, Brahms’ Fourth Symphony, Mozart’s Requiem, Bach’s St. John Passion, Christmas Oratorio, and Mass in B Minor, Handel’s Messiah, Mendelssohn’s Third Symphony, Schumann’s Third Symphony, and Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony.
The current season will feature the Philharmonie Austin Chamber Players in music by Bach (Bach & Beer) and an all-Mozart program. Philharmonie Austin will bring performances of Handel, Bach, Vivaldi, Prokofiev, Ravel, and Stravinsky.
