Sun Jan. 1 at 11AM on 90.5 FM & STREAMING | Celebrate the new year with this annual classical music celebration featuring waltzes by Strauss from the opulent Musikverein.

The ever popular annual New Year’s Day Concert will be performed by the Vienna Philharmonic under the baton of Franz Welser-Most. With this concert it is not only the desire of the Vienna Philharmonic to provide musically definitive interpretations of the masterworks of this genre, but also, as musical ambassadors of Austria, to send people all over the world a New Year's greeting in the spirit of hope, friendship and peace. Hosted by WBUR's Lisa Mullins.
