What is the name of the New Year's Eve concert traditionally broadcast from Vienna's Musikverein?

The concert traditionally broadcast from Vienna's Musikverein is the Vienna New Year's Concert.

The Vienna New Year's Concert is performed by the Vienna Philharmonic in the Musikverein's Golden Hall. Its program focuses chiefly on music by the Strauss family and related composers, especially Johann Strauss II, whose waltzes and polkas have become central to the event's identity.

The concert takes place on January 1, although related performances are held on December 30 and December 31. The New Year's Day performance is broadcast internationally and is associated with the Blue Danube waltz and the Radetzky March. Conductors change from year to year, and the Vienna Philharmonic selects the conductor.

The concert's history reaches back to 1939, when the Vienna Philharmonic presented the first event in the form later associated with the New Year. It is sometimes casually called a “Strauss concert,” but its official identity is broader and its venue, orchestra, and annual broadcast are all important parts of the tradition.
