New Year's Day 2025

Live New Year's Day Concert given by the Vienna Philharmonic and conductor Riccardo Muti.

The annual New Year鈥檚 Day concert given by the Vienna Philharmonic in the glittering Golden Hall of the Vienna Musikverein to kick off Radio 3's European Roadtrip. Enjoy the swirling waltzes, rousing marches uplifting polkas as Petroc Trelawny introduces the concert live for Radio 3. Led from the podium by conductor Riccardo Muti for the seventh time. 2025 marks the 200th anniversary of the birth of Johann Strauss so it鈥檚 no surprise his works are even more in evidence this year. The programme mixes old favourites with new discoveries which celebrate, amongst other things: Jolly Brothers, Demolition Men and Village Swallows as well as the famous Blue Danube. The orchestra say the concert is a New Year鈥檚 Day greeting to people all over the world in the spirit of hope, friendship and peace at the start of 2025.
