New Year's Day Concert from Vienna

Petroc Trelawny hosts the traditional start to the year with a concert live from the golden hall of the Musikverein in Vienna. With a message of hope, friendship and peace, the VPO is directed by celebrated conductor Daniel Barenboim in an array of polkas, waltzes and gallops by the Strauss family and their contemporaries. Furthermore, there are performances by the Vienna State Ballet in the rooms and grounds of Schonbrunn Palace, and an appearance by the world-famous Lipizzaner horses from the Spanish Riding School in Vienna, performing to the Nymph Polka by Josef Strauss. The concert ends with the ever-popular By the Beautiful Blue Danube and the foot-stamping Radetsky March.
