Which Vienna orchestra performs the famous annual New Year’s Concert?

The Vienna Philharmonic performs the famous annual New Year’s Concert in Vienna.

The concert is held in the Musikverein’s Golden Hall and focuses largely on music by the Strauss family and related composers. Its program commonly includes waltzes, polkas, and other works connected with Viennese dance culture.

The tradition began on December 31, 1939, and the concert moved to its regular January 1 date in 1941. It is now broadcast internationally and has become one of the best-known classical-music events associated with the New Year.

The concert is sometimes called a New Year’s Eve event because of its seasonal association, but the main televised performance takes place on New Year’s Day. The orchestra, rather than a separate conductor or venue, is the answer to the question.
