The ECMS
Building on the success of past concert seasons at the Ehrbar Hall, the Ehrbar Chamber Music Society Vienna is entering the 2026/27 season with renewed vigor.
Founded by pianist Biliana Tzinlikova, violinist Klara Flieder, and cellist Christophe Pantillon, the series stands for artistic excellence, stylistic diversity, and a vibrant concert culture. At the same time, the ECMS family continues to grow: new, outstanding chamber musicians at the highest international level are expanding the concert series’ profile.
At its core—out of a deep-seated conviction—remains the promotion of young artists, a cause the ECMS has championed since its inception. In the 2026/27 season, the Viennese piano duo Duo Giocoso, violist Laeticia Lermer, oboist Luisa Deitemeyer, and pianist Gabriel Meloni will bring this focus to life with freshness, originality, and a palpable artistic presence.
The programs combine great piano chamber music with deliberate discoveries beyond the established repertoire—and thrive on musical dialogue.
The third concert in the series will feature a special highlight with a program celebrating the Beethoven anniversary. The festive finale will be the traditional Viennese evening marking the 150th anniversary of the Ehrbar Hall.
The Ehrbar Hall thus remains a venue for special musical encounters. And the ECMS remains a staple for an audience seeking both quality and atmosphere in equal measure.
The Ehrbar Hall
The Ehrbar Hall is considered one of the best chamber music halls in Vienna and has a corresponding profile in terms of music history. The restoration of the hall and the entire complex, which now shine in new splendour, offers audiences and performing artists a highly attractive and acoustically first-class setting for musical encounters. The Ehrbar Chamber Music Society has chosen this very special concert venue as the focus of its artistic intentions.
The centrepiece of the concert series is the great standard repertoire of piano chamber music. Chamber music literature is offered around this already extremely rich centre, which is thematically or historically related to the selected works.
High-calibre musicians from the large circle of colleagues and friends of the three core members of the ECMS take part in the concerts as guests.
