Tempo di Valse

„Tempo di Valse“ is a ladies orchestra which continues the tradition of ladies orchestras („Damenkapelle“) in Vienna’s Prater from 1870-1935.
The name „Tempo di Valse“ is the musical term for the beginning waltz tempo, though it may also be described as „waltzing time“.

„Tempo di Valse“ consists of different instruments whereby the first violinist stands and leads as Johann Strauss did with his orchestra. The ensemble is flexible in many ways, and therefor may play at any place or for any occasion, ranging from a trio to a ball orchestra.

The repertoire from „Tempo di Valse“ covers all types of Viennese music: classical pieces (Franz Schubert, W.A. Mozart), numerous waltzes (Johann Strauss, C.M. Ziehrer) and unforgettable melodies (Franz Lehár, Robert Stolz).

A few special highlights from „Tempo di Valse“ have been their concerts on the cruise ship „MS Europa“, and on the ship „Princess Elisabeth“ in Paris for three weeks as guest artists, the concerts at the Parktheater Augsburg (Germany), the New Year’s concert serie in the Comoedienhaus Wilhelmsbad (Germany), the Ball of the Wine in Wiesbaden (Germany) and numerous balls in Vienna’s most beautiful festive halls at the City Hall, at the Hofburg and at Ferstel Palace.
