Proms: Happy New Year
Beloved waltz classics and a few festive surprises: Happy 2027!
The perfect New Year’s Concert is a blend of familiar waltzes and polkas and a few festive surprises. Court composer Johann Strauss supplies both ingredients with the famous Fledermaus Overture and The Blue Danube, as well as several lesser-known (but equally beautiful) waltzes. Two more modern colleagues add a touch of cheerful commotion, for it is, after all, 2027.

festive surprises.

Last weekend’s concert was a real triumph. The atmosphere was warm and festive, and the event was clearly very well organised.
