Music

The very men­tion of Vien­na evokes waltz tunes in your head, and every­thing starts to spin. Vien­na and music are insep­a­ra­ble. No oth­er major city has been able to pass on its musi­cal her­itage from gen­er­a­tion to gen­er­a­tion, enrich­ing it with inter­na­tion­al influ­ences in such a mod­ern way.

This real­i­ty nat­u­ral­ly inspires the Lycée Français de Vienne to offer a diverse, high-qual­i­ty, con­vivial and con­nect­ed range of artis­tic activ­i­ties. This is achieved through var­i­ous ensem­bles open to all, encour­ag­ing inter­ac­tion and shar­ing with audi­ences through rehearsals, work­shops and concerts.

The choirs

The children’s choir: cre­at­ed in Sep­tem­ber 2023, open to pri­ma­ry schools pupils in CE2, CM1 and CM2 classes.

The orches­tras

The “Petites mains” (Little hands) orchestra

Cre­at­ed in Sep­tem­ber 2023, open to pri­ma­ry schools pupils in CM1 and CM2 class­es and to poten­tial sec­ondary school pupils in 6e class. Inde­pen­dent musi­cal prac­tice is recommended.

NBAn audi­tion is organ­ised in Sep­tem­ber before the first rehearsal begins, so that inter­est­ed pupils can be guid­ed towards the ensem­ble that best suits their musi­cal and tech­ni­cal needs.

Experiencing exceptional artistic projects in tune with Vienna’s musical life

Wiener Jugendsingen

In April 2023, the LFV Young Choir took part in the Wiener Jugendsin­gen.. The LFV’s Young Choir’s per­for­mance at both the fes­ti­val and the school choir com­pe­ti­tion organ­ised by the Aus­tri­an Min­istry of Edu­ca­tion was reward­ed with a ‘very good’ men­tion by the com­pe­ti­tion jury. It was also a great oppor­tu­ni­ty to per­form at MuTh (Augarten), the offi­cial con­cert hall of the Wiener Sängerknaben.

Gustav Mahler’s 8th Symphony at the Vienna Konzerthaus

In May 2024, pupils from the LFV Children’s Choir and Young Choir will be tak­ing part in Gus­tav Mahler’s 8th Sym­pho­ny at the Vien­na Konz­erthaus. A project led by the Vien­na Uni­ver­si­ty Phil­har­mon­ic, choirs and orches­tra under the direc­tion of Vijay Upad­hyaya. This was a unique oppor­tu­ni­ty to sing in a mon­u­men­tal work that brought togeth­er almost 500 musi­cians and singers, and what’s more in a major venue in Vien­nese musi­cal life where Gus­tav Mahler him­self conducted.
