All classical music lovers agree that there isn’t a better way to say goodbye a year as enjoying the Vienna Philharmonic New Year’s Eve Concert. It is also well known as Saint Sylvester concert and it is an exact replica of the memorable New Year’s Concert.
On 31st December 1952 was played for first time and since then every last day of the year at 7.30pm we have a date with the wonderful melodies of the Vienna Philharmonic. For some experts this concert is the crowning glory of a year and the best way to welcome the new one. Experts highlight that the concert is full of symbolism and excitement.
In the New Year’s Eve Concert we will enjoy the same program, conductor, orchestra and decoration as in the famous New Year’s Concert on the 1st January.
The concert has more than 80 years history and still maintains the essence of its origins. The program is distinguished by assembling the best waltzes and polkas of Strauss’ Family, specially Johan Strauss father and son. In a few exceptions we could enjoy masterworks of Mozart, Vivaldi or Wagner. Whichever the program may be, Maestro Christian Thielemann, who will conduct the concerts, will surprise us. For sure he will not forget to include the memorable and most expected masterworks like “The Blue Danube” of Johann Strauss Junior and the endless “Radeztky March” which will we accompany with clapping. This tradition dates from 1959. Another tradition that accompanies the concert since the first occasion is the dress code of the lucky attendees. Therefore, an elegant concert dress is highly recommended.
