When: 1 Jan 2009 (annual)
Where: Musikverein
Opening Hours: 11.15am
One of the world’s most famous concerts, the Vienna Philharmonic’s New Year’s Day Concert in the Musikverein’s fabulous Golden Hall greets the New Year with dance music of the Strauss dynasty.
The History of the Vienna Philharmonic´s New Year’s Concert
The Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra’s New Year’s Concert is by far the most popular of this orchestra’s functions, but also Austria’s most noteworthy cultural export. Throughout the world the Vienna Philharmonic’s New Year’s Concert is televised worldwide and is without doubt the most widely seen and heard of all regular musical presentations performed in the equally famous Musikvervein Concert Hall.
Herbert von Karajan conducted in 1987 (an experience which he reported was completely rejuvenative for his music-making), since when the baton has changed hands annually between a small number of top maestros: Abbado, Kleiber, Maazel, Mehta, Muti, Harnoncourt (the first Viennese conductor since 1980 to take the baton, in 2001 and again in 2003), Ozawa, Jansons and - in 2008 - the sprightly octogenarian, French conductor Georges Pretre making his New Year Concert debut.
Special Attractions
In 2009 another debutant, Daniel Barenboim, guides the Philharmonic through favourite Strauss dances, as well as their contemporaries, ending with the traditional encores - the Blue Danube waltz and Johann Strauss the Elder’s Radetzky march.
