Cbso 2026/27 Viennese New Year

This concert celebrates the golden age of Viennese waltzes with a programme including - of course - the music of ‘The Waltz King’ himself, Johan Strauss II.

The Blue Danube makes an appearance - for what New Year concert would be complete without it? - among a wealth of other musical treats, including the overture to Die Fledermaus and Unter Donner und Blitz: not shorthand for Santa’s reindeers, but Strauss’s ‘Thunder and Lightning’ polka.

Dynamic young conductor Tess Jackson leads the CBSO, which is joined by the sensational soprano, Aylish Tynan.
