Founded in 2006 by artistic director Tomasz Wabnic- violinist, violist, as well as arranger - Morphing Chamber Orchestra has stayed true to the philosophy of ensemble playing. Its players are young, diverse, and award-winning artists from around the world, who all came to Vienna to perfect their musical skills. Their alert playing and outstanding qualities are paired with an acute sense of style which enables them to excel at a range of genres. The Metropolitan Opera, Tokyo Opera City Concert Hall, music labels Aparté & Sony Classical and the World Economic Forum: these are just a few of the important institutions that put their trust in the MCO. Whether it's a concert, a recording or a major ceremony, the MCO is a first-class chamber music partner for any occasion. Opera stars Aleksandra Kurzak, Roberto Alagna and Andreas Scholl, American jazz icon Bobby McFerrin and composer Arvo Pärt have also opted for the cosmopolitan Vienna-based ensemble.
"Vienna Morphing Orchestra is a small orchestra with a big spirit. They were great to work with."
The ensemble’s artistic achievements have been recognized by no less than four nominations for the OPUS Klassik Award 2023 with the album Stabat Mater, featuring works by Arvo Pärt. Nominations have been announced in the categories of “orchestra of the year” & “opera recording of the year”, furthermore Tomasz Wabnic has been nominated for “conductor of the year” and Andreas Scholl as “vocalist of the year”.
„Arvo Pärt very much appreciated both your interpretation and the presentation of his Oeuvre – „Vater unser“. He sends his congratulations. ...your musicians rendered the spirit of the work wonderfully. Arvo Pärt sends his thanks for your engagement!“
Tomasz Wabnic and the MCO have their finger on the pulse with their latest releases. 2019 saw the launch of their debut album with Sony: 'Desire', featuring the stratospheric voice of Polish soprano Aleksandra Kurzak, which received critical acclaim and was named 'Best Foreign Album' at the Fryderyk Awards in Poland in 2021. Kurzak's next album, 'Mozart Concertante', features an unusual mix of arias as well as Mozart's Sinfonia Concertante with soloists Tomasz Wabnic and Yuuki Wong - an example of the MCO style of soloist-led music-making. 'Stabat Mater' is dedicated to the works of the famous contemporary composer Arvo Pärt and impresses with singers Aleksandra Kurzak, Roberto Alagna and countertenor Andreas Scholl. 'De Profundis' is a spiritual journey through the works of Bach and Schönberg. Further albums with Aleksandra Kurzak, Roberto Alagna as well as Barno Ismatullaeva and Kévin Amiel are in the making. MCO has made recordings for various television stations (PBS TV, ORF, TVP Kultura, ARTE TV, MEZZO TV) and radio stations (OE1, radio klassik Stephansdom, Radio Classique France and Polish Radio 2). Morphing Chamber Orchestra is a partner of the Parisian label Aparté (Artistic Director: Nicolas Bartholomeé).
„Music is like a language: if you have enough love for music, you can play anything. Then style or genre is just a matter of dialect."

The orchestra, composed of fixed members all of whom are award-winning soloists from fifteen countries, has its resident series at the famous Eroica Hall of Vienna's Lobkowitz Palace has recorded widely for SONY Classical, BMG Classics, and Universal Music.

He graduated with honours. Numerous awards and honours were bestowed on Tomasz Wabnic as a soloist and chamber musician. With his Fidelio Quartet, he was a finalist in the 2001 International Chamber Music Competition in Melbourne. Morphing: the combination of several works of music and other art forms through seamless transition, is a concept which fascinated Tomasz Wabnic since his infant days: In his parents' living room, he used to play two or three records and the radio all at the same time, with the idea of creating a new sound. Today he lives with his family in Vienna.
