He New Year’s concert of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra is one of the most anticipated and traditional musical events in the world, marking the beginning of the new year with a show full of elegance and sophistication.
This prestigious concert is held every year on January 1 in the Sala Dorada of the Music club in Vienna, Austria. The orchestra will be conducted this year by a renowned conductor, such as Christian Thielemann who will try to make people forget the improvable conducting of Franz Welser-Möst in 2023.
The Strauss polkas and waltzes will be accompanied this year by other authors such as a Anton Bruckner who, for the first time, will have a piece in this concert on the occasion of the bicentennial of his birth.
One of the most anticipated moments will be, precisely, the performance that ends the concert. Like every year, the orchestra director will raise his baton and ask for the public’s collaboration, which he has paid between 35 and 1,200 euros on average. At that moment, the first notes of one of the best-known symphonies of Johann Strauss (father): the well-known Marcha Radetzka.
