At the Vienna New Year's Concert, which Strauss march traditionally closes the program?

At the Vienna New Year's Concert, the Radetzky March traditionally closes the program.

The Vienna New Year's Concert is performed by the Vienna Philharmonic and broadcast internationally on New Year's Day. Its repertoire is strongly associated with the Strauss family and other composers connected with the musical culture of Vienna. The Radetzky March, composed by Johann Strauss I, is the customary closing work.

Audiences traditionally clap along during the march, following the conductor's tempo and gestures. The audience participation is unusual for a formal orchestral concert and has become one of the event's most recognizable features.

The concert's other famous encore is Johann Strauss II's “The Blue Danube.” That waltz is often played before the Radetzky March, which is why the two pieces are sometimes reversed in people’s memories. The concert itself is held on January 1, while related performances take place on December 30 and December 31.
