The '''Vienna Chamber Orchestra''' ('''Wiener Kammer Orchester''', or '''WKO''') is an [[Austria]]n [[chamber orchestra]] based at the [[Vienna]] [[Konzerthaus, Vienna|Konzerthaus]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The WKO was founded in 1946, and its first artistic directors were Franz Litschauer, [[Heinrich Hollreiser]], [[Paul Angerer]], and [[Carlo Zecchi]]. When he took over the position from 1976 to 1991, [[Philippe Entremont]] started a tradition of conductors playing a dual rôle, appearing as both conductor and soloist. Entremont has continued as the Orchestra's lifetime honorary conductor, leading it on tour and in its [[wikt:matinée|matinée]] subscription series at the Konzerthaus. In addition, the WKO has continued to invite dual-role artists, including [[Yehudi Menuhin]], [[Heinz Holliger]], [[Heinrich Schiff]], and Ola Rudner.<br />
<br />
[[Heinrich Schiff]] was chief conductor of the WKO from 2005 to 2008, when he stepped down from the post for health reasons. [[Stefan Vladar]] was the most recent chief conductor of the WKO,<ref>{{cite news | title=Stefan Vladar neuer Chefdirigent des Wiener Kammerorchesters | url=http://www.vienna.at/news/om:vienna:kultur/artikel/stefan-vladar-neuer-chefdirigent-des-wiener-kammerorchesters/cn/news-20080516-12280167 | work=Vienna Online | date=2008-05-16 | access-date=2009-02-07}}</ref> from 2008 to 2018. Since 2018, the WKO's principal guest conductor is [[Joji Hattori]]. <br />
<br />
The commercial recordings of the WKO include the first complete recording of the symphonies of [[Joseph Haydn]], conducted by [[Ernst Märzendorfer]]. This set received a very limited release and was little known at the time.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://musicweb-international.com/classrev/2018/Mar/Maerzendorfer_Haydn_article.pdf | title=Ernst Maerzendorfer and the First Recorded Cycle of Haydn Symphonies | work=MusicWeb International | author=Christopher Howell | date=March 2018 | accessdate=2021-09-20}}</ref><br />
