Synopsis

Live from the Musikverein, Vienna

Presented by Petroc Trelawny

The Vienna Philharmonic presents its traditional New Year greeting to the world, with this special concert of music from the Johann Strauss family and their contemporaries. The light-hearted yet subtly profound character of the music sends a message of optimism for the year ahead.

The conductor Mariss Jansons is making his second appearance in this role, and he has a long standing relationship with the orchestra.
