What is the name of the concert held each New Year's Day by the Vienna Philharmonic?

The Vienna New Year's Concert is held each New Year's Day by the Vienna Philharmonic.

The concert takes place in Vienna's Musikverein and focuses mainly on music by the Strauss family and related composers. Its program is known for waltzes, polkas, and other light classical works, making it one of the most widely broadcast classical music events in the world.

The first concert in the modern series was held on January 1, 1941. Clemens Krauss conducted the early concerts, and the event later became closely associated with the Vienna Philharmonic's changing roster of internationally known conductors. The concert traditionally ends with “The Blue Danube” and the “Radetzky March,” although those pieces are not normally listed as the opening work.

Despite its name, the concert is not held on New Year's Eve. It is performed on New Year's Day, with additional rehearsals and performances around the same program scheduled beforehand.
