Direct from Vienna: The Annual New Year's Concert on January 1st

Start your year off with WRTI! Join us on New Year's Day at 11 am for the Vienna Philharmonic 2013 New Year's Concert, conducted for the second time by Austrian conductor Franz Welser-Möst.

It has long been a Vienna Philharmonic tradition at the New Year to present a program consisting of the lively, and at the same time nostalgic, music from the vast repertoire of the Johann Strauss family and its contemporaries. These concerts not only delight the audiences in the Musikverein in Vienna, but also enjoy great international popularity through world-wide broadcasts.

Since their first concert together in 1998, Franz Welser-Möst and the Vienna Philharmonic have developed a brilliant artistic partnership, characterized by numerous concerts at home and abroad, which include the Summer Night Concert Schönbrunn 2010 and the New Year's Concert 2011.

Tuesday, January 1st at 11 am.
