Silvester: Strauss Festival Orchester

Performers:

Strauss Festival Orchestra Vienna
Christoph Koncz, conductor

Swinging waltzes at the turn of the year
The Strauss Festival Orchestra is characterised by stylistic fidelity and an unadulterated sound, Viennese charm and the joy of music-making. This year, under the direction of Christoph Koncz, it will perform a varied cross-section of the »Waltz King's« oeuvre.

The Strauss Festival Orchestra Vienna celebrates the Waltz King
The programme includes well-known operetta overtures, popular waltzes and polkas, as well as passionately spirited orchestral works: two lively and festive concert evenings true to the motto of the Strauss waltz »Freuet euch des Lebens«!
