2025 Solo Advent Tour Again
"And when the fourth candle is burning," the next Advent concert tour of Philipp Poisel in 2025 is already on the way, becoming an unforgettable part of the Christmas season.
During the reflective pre-Christmas time, it is well known that: All good things come in FOUR. That’s why Philipp Poisel will go on his Advent tour for the fourth time next year – and again, in his personal style: solo, acoustic, and especially close in selected, mostly fully seated churches, halls, and theaters.
"2025 will already be the fourth Advent tour. Even though I’m still in the middle of the current tour, I’m really looking forward to the coming year," says Philipp Poisel. "It’s just nice that these concerts continue. The special atmosphere of this Advent season, the many encounters, and the calm, intimate mood are a gift to me every time. Sometimes less is more – and at these concerts, it’s less about ‘higher, faster, further,’ but more about ‘deeper, slower, closer.’ If we experience that in the concerts, I’m very happy."
While the candles of the current, completely sold-out Advent tour are still burning, we are already excited to announce Philipp Poisel's Advent concerts for 2025! The concerts offer Philipp Poisel the opportunity to present his songs in a particularly intimate setting.
"The Advent concerts have become a beautiful tradition for me, and they’re something very special. The festive atmosphere in the air during the tour, the glow of the Christmas season, and the personal encounters make these concerts a unique experience. In these moments, you feel especially connected," says the artist.
Program and cast
Wiener Konzerthaus
The Wiener Konzerthaus ( Vienna Concert House or Hall) is one of the largest and most artistically progressive institutions in international musical life. During the course of a season, which extends from September to June, some 750 wide-ranging events take place and more than 600,000 visitors can listen to around 2,500 different compositions. With this comprehensive and varied selection, the Wiener Konzerthaus – together with the Vienna State Opera House and the Musikverein – is central to Vienna’s reputation as one of the world’s leading music capitals.
From its earliest days, the Wiener Konzerthaus has held the highest cultural aims and artistic mission: «To act as a venue for the cultivation of fine music, as a meeting point for artistic endeavour, as a home for music and a cultural centre for Vienna». It was in this spirit that the Konzerthaus was inaugurated on 19 October 1913 with a festive concert attended by Emperor Francis Joseph I. To mark the occasion, Richard Strauss wrote the «Festliches Präludium op. 61», which was followed by Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony. This programme combination, comprising a contemporary work and a masterpiece from the past, served as a model for the Wiener Konzerthaus’s future direction: today, too, an awareness of tradition and the joys of innovation form the main pillars of the Konzerthaus’s artistic identity.

Great Hall
In the heart of the building (which consists of more than 600 rooms) lies the Konzerthaus’s flagship, the Grosser Saal (Great Hall). Designed with a sense of space and classical balance, its stage has provided the setting for many memorable concerts over the years. In this room, artists, audiences and atmosphere blend into a harmonious triad.
Home to world-famous orchestras, virtuoso soloists, renowned conductors and legendary jazz musicians, the Great Hall can accommodate an audience of 1,800 and offers the perfect venue for a wide variety of musical activity. The Great Hall has emerged from the major renovation with renewed splendour and, despite improvements in technical installation and audience comfort has continued to conserve its original elegance. Its unique atmosphere ideally lends itself to the broad range of artistic activities offered by the Vienna Konzerthaus.
Mozart Hall
Open and relaxing, welcoming and intimate, with its incomparable appeal, the Mozart Hall constitutes a jewel of international musical life. The perfect setting for all types of chamber music, from lute and Lieder recitals to string quartets and chamber orchestras, it can accommodate an audience of around 700 – an ideal size in which to experience the intimacy of chamber music and recital performances.
The Mozart Hall enjoys world-wide acclaim on account of its unique acoustics. This distinction makes it a top favourite with leading ensembles and soloists – as well as a popular venue for recordings. This was taken into account during the major renovation of the building: as with all other rooms in the Konzerthaus, the Mozart Hall is directly linked to a recording studio and a technical control room.
Schubert Hall
With its festive character, the Schubert-Saal presents the perfect model of a music salon, the restored use of the windows follwing the renovation having returned the room to its elegant, airy appearance.
Equipped with around 320 seats, it lends itself to a wide range of chamber-music concerts, as well as to receptions, dinners and lectures. It is home to the popular lunchtime concert series, as well as to events which enable promising young musicians to experience a professional concert stage. Many a musical career has been launched in the Schubert Hall of the Vienna Konzerthaus.
