Franz Welser-Most (conductor), Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra

Description:

The Vienna Philharmonic New Year's Concert is held every year on January 1. The concert is one of the most famous classical music events in the world and is broadcast from Vienna's golden Musikvereinsaal to more than 90 countries around the world via TV and radio, reaching 50 million viewers. In 2023, Franz Welser-Möst, a native Austrian, will appear for the first time in 10 years (since 2011 and 2013). Welser-Möst is one of the conductors most closely associated with the Vienna Philharmonic, and since his great-grandfather owned the café where the Strauss family gave concerts, Strauss is part of his repertoire.
