Das Tonkünstler-Orchester ist mit seinen drei Residenzen – im Musikverein Wien, im Festspielhaus St. Pölten und in Grafenegg – einer der größten und wichtigsten musikalischen Botschafter Österreichs. Den Kernbereich der künstlerischen Arbeit bildet das traditionelle Orchesterrepertoire von der Klassik über die Romantik bis zur Musik des 20. Jahrhunderts. Zugleich sehen die Tonkünstler in der Pflege der zeitgenössischen Musik eine ihrer vornehmsten Aufgaben.
