The Vienna Philharmonic’s New Year’s Concert at the Wiener Musikverein is one of the most beloved events in classical music, ringing in each new year for over eight decades with a joyful celebration in the Viennese tradition. Tickets to see the Vienna Philharmonic in their trademark repertoire sell out a year in advance, but for the second year running, you can also catch every note on medici.tv.

For the 2024 edition of this anticipated event, German conductor Christian Thielemann returns to lead the storied orchestra, five years after their 2019 New Year's Concert, in a selection of spirited works, including waltzes and polkas by the Strauss family. Many of these pieces are making their Vienna Philharmonic New Year's Concert debut—including an orchestral arrangement of a Quadrille by Anton Bruckner, who appears for the first time on the program to mark the bicentennial celebration of his birth year.
