Concert du Nouvel An

All eyes turn toward Vienna for the traditional Concert du Nouvel An. But at Gaveau, it is a French orchestra that makes the brilliant Austrian waltzes, overtures, and other polkas ring out. After two gems from the repertoire of the First Viennese School, the young yet already essential orchestra Consuelo dresses up to its 31 to perform mythical works straight from the Kunstverein: the overture to Die Fledermaus, The Blue Danube, and the Tritsch-Tratsch Polka. The fiery bow and precise baton of Victor Julien-Laferrière will guide these New Year concerts (Concert du Nouvel An) that will delight you!
