The New Year's Concert from Vienna

A Viennese tradition, on the road

On its world tour the Schönbrunn Palace Orchestra Vienna, made up solely of the city's finest musicians and vocal soloists, performs a repertoire drawn from the world-famous concert broadcast on television every New Year's Day and watched by millions of viewers around the globe.

“No one performs Viennese music the way Viennese musicians do.”

When the orchestra visits the leading concert halls of Scandinavia, audiences enjoy beloved classics, many of them familiar from the New Year's broadcasts.
