Musically festive spirits at the turn of the year.

PROGRAMME AT THE TURN OF THE YEAR

Toxic dust clouds? Noise? Nothing of the sort: at the Tonkunstler's traditional New Year's concert, it's only the music that sparkles and shimmers, blooms and enchants - because the most beautiful fireworks are in the concert hall. The cheerful Viennese waltzes, polkas, and marches of the Strauss dynasty, complemented by forays into the realm of opera and operetta, garnished with orchestral delicacies spanning epochs and styles: the Tonkunstler's special mix of ingredients at year's end has developed into a house brand enjoyed by an enthusiastic and loyal audience. Happy New Year!
