Vision is the art of seeing the invisible, making the inaudible perceptible and embodies the transformation of dreams to reality. Visions enable us to open our minds to discover new and wondrous worlds. The Vienna Vision Trio wishes to contribute to the process of an ever-advancing culture as a musical ambassador, sharing music with the world.
