DAVID STEFFENS | Messiah with the Tonkünstler Orchestra of Lower Austria

Bass David Steffens is a welcome guest not only on the opera stage, but also as a concert soloist with international orchestras - be it the NHK Symphony Orchestra in Tokyo, the Danish National Symphony Orchestra in Copenhagen or the Orquesta y Coro Nacionales de España in Madrid. He has a long-standing artistic relationship with the Tonkünstler Orchestra of Lower Austria, with which he recently performed in Beethoven's Ninth Symphony and will also be heard in Mahler's Eighth Symphony in the current season. For the first time, he will perform Handel's Messiah under the baton of Ivor Bolton and can also be heard twice at the Vienna Musikverein.
