CONCERT
Sunday
7TH JANUARY
at 2.45pm
A concert to banish the gloom of winter in a feast of uplifting tunes, and a favourite with audiences, the annual New Year concert is an upbeat, joyous, celebratory event featuring the music of the Strauss family and their contemporaries.
The New Year Concert is traditionally Viennese in flavour - featuring all those familiar waltzes, marches and polkas - although Music Director John Gibbons is partial to adding
one or two surprising extras to the musical menu so watch this space!

this foot-tapping, hand-clapping orchestral extravaganza to welcome the New Year
The Strauss Family
In the ballrooms of Vienna in the
19th century, if you heard a waltz it was
highly likely that it was written by a member of the
Strauss family - either the father Johann, or one of his
three sons - Johann Jr., Josef or Eduard. The work of the Strauss family has been called ‘light music’ but there is nothing light about the sheer volume of music they produced.

annual celebration
of Viennese favourites to herald in the New Year!
