Which Vienna concert is traditionally broadcast around the world on New Year's Day, following New Year's Eve?

The concert traditionally broadcast around the world on New Year's Day is the Vienna New Year's Concert.

The concert is performed by the Vienna Philharmonic in Vienna's Musikverein, especially its richly decorated Golden Hall. Its program focuses mainly on music by the Strauss family, particularly Johann Strauss II, whose waltzes and polkas have become strongly associated with the occasion.

The first concert in the series took place on December 31, 1939, during the Second World War. After the war, the main performance moved to New Year's Day, and the event developed into an annual international broadcast with a large audience.

The program traditionally concludes with the “Blue Danube” waltz and the “Radetzky March,” although the order and additional works can vary. The audience's clapping during the march is a familiar feature, but the concert itself is not a midnight New Year's Eve event; it is held on the morning of January 1.
