What is the name of Vienna's annual classical-music event broadcast on New Year's Day, not New Year's Eve?

The Vienna New Year's Concert is Vienna's annual classical-music event broadcast on New Year's Day.

The concert is performed by the Vienna Philharmonic in the Golden Hall of the Musikverein. Its program is strongly associated with the music of the Strauss family, especially Johann Strauss II, although other composers also appear. The event combines a live performance with an international television broadcast.

The first concert in the series took place on December 31, 1939. It moved to New Year's Day in 1941, establishing the date now recognized worldwide. The program traditionally ends with Johann Strauss II's “The Blue Danube” and the “Radetzky March,” though the precise running order can vary.

Despite its close association with New Year's celebrations, the main concert is not a New Year's Eve midnight event. It begins on the morning of January 1, with additional performances often scheduled around the same program. That date distinction is a frequent source of confusion.
