 Vienna Philharmonic Strauss Orchestra, Conductor Andras Deak. A European orchestra with Viennese flair and undisputed mastery of a wide repertoire on Viennese Classic and Viennese 19th century music, the Vienna Strauss Philharmonic combines virtuosity with a deep knowledge of its métier. The high degree of specialization reached by the Vienna Strauss Philharmonic on its core repertoire (Haydn, Mozart, Brahms – Johann Strauss – father and son) confers the ensemble an almost borderless freedom of choice while setting together and putting in place breathtaking concert programs full of fantasy and mastery. Andras Deak was born in Budapest. He studied piano and composition at the Béla Bartók Vocational Secondary School for Music and then graduated at the Franz Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest under famous Hungarian and foreign professors including Ervin Lukács, Franco Ferrara, and Péter Eötvös. In 1995 Mr. Deák was named one of Hungary’s best conductors in the Hungarian Television’s János Ferencsik International Conductor’s Competition. For his internationally known artistic contribution to fine music making, Maestro Deak has been awarded Hungary’s prestigious Decoration of Knight’s Cross Order in 2004.
