Which famous concert, held in Vienna on New Year's Day, grew from the Vienna Philharmonic's New Year's Eve tradition?

The famous concert held in Vienna on New Year's Day is the Vienna New Year's Concert.

The Vienna Philharmonic performs the concert, which is best known for music by the Strauss family and related composers. Although the modern broadcast is associated with New Year's Day, the concert's history is connected to a predecessor held on New Year's Eve in 1939.

The program usually emphasizes waltzes, polkas and other light classical works. The Blue Danube and the Radetzky March are especially familiar recurring pieces, though the exact program changes.

A common mistake is to call it a New Year's Eve concert because of its subject and origins. The internationally televised main performance takes place on the morning of January 1 in the Musikverein's Golden Hall. It is separate from Vienna's general street celebrations.
