We're welcoming 2022 with a Philadelphia Orchestra rebroadcast of 2018's New Year's Eve concert that takes you from the shimmering grandeur of Vienna, to the bright lights of Broadway, to the serene beauty of Helsinki. Listen on WRTI, Sunday, Jan. 2nd at 1 PM and Monday, Jan. 3rd at 7 PM on WRTI HD-2.
Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts. Violinist Kimberly Fisher is soloist.
