The Nova Orchester Wien or NOW!, is an Austrian symphony orchestra, based in Vienna, which specializes in lesser-known symphonic works and was founded by conductor William Garfield Walker in 2020. The Nova Orchester Wien sometimes referred to as NOW!, performed its opening concert for the G20 economic forum in a digital live broadcast and has had other concerts in collaboration with the Austrian Cultural Forum. The orchestra gives particular focus to the music of the Twentieth Century, especially the work of composers active during the Cold War era. This has been evidenced in its programming of composers such as Prokofiev, William Grant Still, and Shostakovich. In 2020, the Nova Orchester Wien performed the Austrian orchestral premiere of Florence Price. NOW! has appeared several times on the Viennese radio channel Radioklassik Stephansdom.
