Which famous New Year's Eve concert has been performed by the Vienna Philharmonic in Vienna since 1939?

The famous concert performed by the Vienna Philharmonic in Vienna since 1939 is the Vienna New Year's Concert.

The concert is held annually on New Year's Day, although its connection to the holiday gives it a central place in the wider New Year season. It takes place in Vienna's Musikverein, traditionally in the Golden Hall, and is performed by the Vienna Philharmonic. The program is strongly associated with the music of the Strauss family, especially Johann Strauss II.

The first concert in the tradition was held on December 31, 1939, during the Second World War. It was later moved to New Year's morning, and the modern international broadcast helped turn it into a global musical event. Its familiar repertoire includes waltzes, polkas, and marches.

The concert is often confused with the Vienna Philharmonic's Summer Night Concert. That outdoor performance is also associated with the orchestra, but it is a separate event held at Schönbrunn Palace and is not the annual New Year's program.
