( second violin)

 

The Vienna-born instrumentalist studied violin, viola, and percussion at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna as well as musicology at the University of Vienna.

Even before finishing his studies, he began performing with various orchestras. His work as a substitute with the Vienna State Opera Orchestra and in concerts with the Vienna Philharmonic was particularly influential in shaping him as an orchestral musician. He received his first permanent position with the Bruckner Orchestra Linz, and later joined the Tonkünstler Orchestra of Lower Austria. There, he served as principal violinist for 39 years and also enjoyed great success as a soloist.

Alongside his orchestral career, Herbert Suchy has always remained deeply committed to other musical genres. He is currently active as a percussionist with the Hoch-und Deutschmeisterkapelle Wien and is a long-standing member of NÖ-Mixdur, a folk music ensemble. Drawing on his extensive experience – especially in the authentic interpretation of classical Viennese music – he joined the Johann Strauss Concert Schrammeln in 2025 as a second violinist.
