Petroc Trelawny is our host for the traditional classic start to the year where the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra are joined in the Golden Hall of the Musikverein by the exuberant and exhilarating Venezuelan conductor Gustavo Dudamel for the 2017 New Year's Day Concert Live from Vienna.

Gustavo Dudamel is the youngest ever conductor to lead the orchestra in their annual celebration of the music of the Strauss family and their contemporaries and he brings his individual and exciting style to the proceedings. As well as a mix of the finest galops, polkas and waltzes, the concert ends, as always, with the beloved By the Beautiful Blue Danube and the stirring Radetzky March.

The concert is broadcast in over 90 countries with an estimated 50 million television viewers around the world and for 2017 there is not only the customary appearance by the Vienna State Ballet - this year performing both on location and live inside the Musikverein - but also a performance by the Choir of the Society of the Friends of Music. Founded in 1858, this amateur chorus is consistently ranked among the best concert choirs in the world.
