Program for New Year’s concert from Vienna

The 2018 New Year’s concert from Vienna (with the Vienna Philharmonic), on January 1, will be conducted by Riccardo Muti for the fifth time. KOCE will broadcast the event at 9 p.m. on Jan. 1. This is always one of the most enjoyable classical music broadcasts of the year (in our opinion) and is best accompanied with a good bottle of champagne.

Muti and the Vienna Phil will perform the following program:

• Johann Strauss, Jr.
  Einzugsmarsch aus der Operette „Der Zigeunerbaron“, ohne op.
• Josef Strauss
  Wiener Fresken. Walzer, op. 249
• Johann Strauss, Jr.
  Brautschau. Polka, op. 417
  Leichtes Blut. Polka schnell, op. 319
• Johann Strauss, sen.
  Marienwalzer, op.212
  Wilhelm Tell Galopp, op. 29b
• Franz von Suppé
  Ouvertüre zu “Boccaccio”
• Johann Strauss, Jr.
  Myrthenblüten. Walzer, op. 395
• Alphons Czibulka
  Stephanie-Gavotte, op. 312
• Johann Strauss, Jr.
  Freikugeln. Polka schnell, op. 326
  Tales from the Vienna Woods, Waltz, op. 325
  Fest-Marsch, op. 452
  Stadt und Land. Polka mazur, op. 322
  Un ballo in maschera. Quadrille, op. 272
  Rosen aus dem Süden. Walzer, op. 388
• Josef Strauss
  Eingesendet. Polka schnell, op. 240

They will also, of course, play the two traditional encores, which are the “Blue Danube” Waltz and the “Radetzky” March. The U.S. broadcast has in the past trimmed some items from the program, but these days the complete concert will be viewable on YouTube.
