The annual New Year’s Concert in Vienna has been a major event for more than eight decades, since 1939, broadcast on television and radio. The concert has so far been conducted by world-famous maestros such as Herbert von Karajan, Lorin Maazel, Claudio Abbado, Carlos Kleiber, Zubin Mehta, Riccardo Muti, Nikolaus Harnoncourt, Seiji Ozawa, Mariss Jansons, Franz Welser-Möst, Gustavo Dudamel, and others. As Austria’s musical ambassadors, the Vienna Philharmonic sends people around the world a New Year’s greeting in the spirit of hope, friendship, and peace – with lively and carefree yet nostalgic and profound music from the great repertoire of the Strauss family and their contemporaries.
