Music has a special magic—it brings people together. On the one hand the musicians themselves—at rehearsals and concerts. And on the other hand, the audience, sharing an inspiring experience. Viennese music, the waltzing sounds of Strauss and others, contribute to this in a very special way.
As Federal President of Austria, I wish you all a piece of this musical magic and a Happy New Year 2023.
Alexander Van der Bellen
Federal President of Austria
It’s with extraordinary pleasure that we invite you back to the concert hall to celebrate the New Year with us. Our vision for a future together again has never wavered through these last two years, and we’ve spent our time focusing, working, and building, to bring you the most exciting New Year’s Concert yet. Our fine European conductors, singers, and dancers cannot wait to perform for you again live on stage.
Salute to Vienna New Year’s Concert represents celebration, joy, and community to so many across North America. Dancing, singing, and music are some of the earliest and most visceral expressions of togetherness we have as a people. Across the world, we have been challenged and tried. Now is the time to come together again and celebrate with renewed optimism for the future. Enjoy the performance today, and may it waltz you into the New Year. Happy New Year!
