The ensemble "The Philharmonic String Sextet Vienna" was founded in 2015 by 6 young members of the Vienna Philharmonic. Since then the musicians have devoted themselves to the classic sextet literature around the two large sextets by Brahms, the sextet of Dvo??k and the famous Souvenir de Florence by PyotrIlyich Tchaikovsky, as well as to more modern works by composers such as Schoenberg, Korngold and Milhaud. The Philharmonic String Sextet Vienna appeared at several festivals, including the chamber music cycle of the Vienna State Opera, where it celebrated a huge success with the sextet by Tchaikovsky. The maintaining of tradition is an important part of the ensembles philosophy as proven by the members. For example, Siegfried Fuhrlinger, Sebastian Fuhrlinger's father, was a longtime violist of the famous Vienna String Sextet. Thomas Kublbck for his part continues the philharmonic tradition in his family: His father is first trombonist of the Vienna Philharmonic.
