Das Wiener Neujahrskonzert
'The Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra is one of the world's most-famous and talent-driven musical organizations. All members must go through a rigorous audition process that lasts for years; the result is a tight-knit group of classical musicians who are able to produce some of the most awe-inspiring performances in music history. Whether you witness them play at Vienna's famous Golden Hall or in your home country, a night with the Vienna Philharmonic is certain to be vibrant, dramatic and thoroughly engaging.'
'From Bach to Brahms, Vienna has always been the home of classical composition and performance. Although great composers have graced the city's music scene with their presences for hundreds of years, Vienna did not actually have its own orchestra until the 19th century. The Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra was formally established in 1842 by Otto Nicolai. This was the heart of the Romantic era, and the Philharmonic soon took its place as one of the most prominent orchestras in European history. The Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra is well-known for maintaining its artistic autonomy and for deciding all internal affairs through a democratic process. This exclusive organization only welcomes musicians who have previously played for the Vienna State Opera Orchestra and who have proven themselves through years of musical excellence.'
