Celebrate the New Year with an uplifting concert of marvellous music by the King of Waltz, Johann Strauss and his contemporaries!

The full symphonic forces of the BSO will bring you an evening of swirling melodies to carry you away into the glamour and sparkle of Viennese Dance Halls.

This year’s sparkling concert music by the King of Waltz is spiced up with a sprinkling of Hungarian flavour as the waltzes, marches and polkas of Johann Strauss and family are cleverly juxtaposed with the Hungarian Dances and Rhapsodies of Brahms and Liszt. Rising young maestro Gergely Madaras studied composition in Budapest and conducting in Vienna. So, who better as conductor and informative guide for this musical tour of both capital cities.

Music includes the Fledermaus Overture, Thunder and Lightning Polka, Cuckoo Polka, Gold and Silver Waltz and, of course, The Blue Danube! Visit the Performance Information tab for the full programme of music.
