Description:

The Vienna Philharmonic New Year's Concert is held every year on January 1. The New Year's 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 2022, Daniel Barenboim, who is now the most closely associated with the Vienna Philharmonic, will appear for the first time in eight years (since 2009 and 2014). Barenboim was also the first conductor welcomed by the Vienna Philharmonic after the orchestra was forced to suspend performances due to the Corona disaster. This year, Barenboim will turn 80 years old, and the Vienna Philharmonic will present him with a gift from the Philharmonic. (C)RS
