Every year at the turn of the year, the Vienna Philharmonic presents a program that is both joyful and contemplative, drawn from the rich repertoire of the Strauss dynasty and their contemporaries. Originating from a dark chapter in Austrian history, the New Year's Concerts were once intended to offer the Austrian people a chance to reflect on the past and, at the same time, to inspire hope for better times.
This year, Yannick Nézet-Séguin will conduct the Vienna Philharmonic. He has been Music Director of the Metropolitan Opera in New York since 2018 and Music Director of the Philadelphia Orchestra since 2012.
