What is the name of the Vienna Philharmonic's annual New Year's concert?

The Vienna New Year's Concert is the Vienna Philharmonic's annual New Year's concert.

Known in German as the Neujahrskonzert der Wiener Philharmoniker, it is held in Vienna's Musikverein, usually on January 1. The program is strongly associated with the Strauss family, especially Johann Strauss II, Johann Strauss I, Josef Strauss, and Eduard Strauss. Waltzes and polkas form the musical center of the event.

The concert began during the Second World War, with the first New Year's Day concert held in 1941. It later became an international broadcast event, reaching audiences in many countries. The conductor changes from year to year and is selected by the orchestra.

The concert is often described as a New Year's Eve event because of its close connection to the holiday season, but its principal performance occurs on New Year's Day. Additional performances are held before January 1.
