Celebrating New Year’s Vienna Style
Our New Year’s Day Party on Cape Cod is celebrated much like they do in Vienna, Austria. At midnight on New Year’s Eve, whether you’re attending the ball at the Imperial Palace or in the streets of the capital city, everyone dances to the “Blue Danube” waltz and then fireworks are launched for everyone to see. On New Year’s Day, the Vienna Philharmonic performs in the Golden Hall of the Musikverein, sharing the lively waltzes and polkas of the famous Strauss family. The concert is broadcast around the country (and the world) so that Austrians everywhere can participate in the tradition.
The Cape Symphony’s 2022 New Year’s Day Party takes inspiration from Vienna, with our own contemporary twist, of course! We mix pop, rock, opera, and classical in with the Viennese waltzes, polkas, and marches to make the first musical experience of the New Year special, just for you.
