New Year's Eve performance in Neuwied initiates ticket sales for the PM concert
The much-anticipated annual concert, titled "Viennese Blend," is set to take place on January 7, 2025, at the city hall in Neuwied, Germany. This event, a cherished tradition in the city, will showcase a selection of famous Viennese waltzes and quick polkas, including the enchanting Blue Danube waltz as an encore.
Karsten Huschke will serve as the musical director for this special occasion, promising a night of top-notch entertainment. The audience can look forward to hearing works from the Strauss family—Johann, Josef, and Eduard Strauss—who are renowned for their waltzes, polkas, and operettas.
In addition to these timeless pieces, the concert program will feature traditional Viennese songs, expertly arranged for voice and orchestra, with Patrick Rohbeck taking the stage to sing these beloved tunes and host the evening's moderation.
To add a touch of rarity to the performance, the Rheinische Philharmonie will also perform one or two lesser-known works by Johann Schrammel, Carl Michael Ziehrer, and Joseph Lanner, all esteemed composers in the Viennese classical and operetta traditions.
The concert's roots can be traced back to Vienna's golden hall in the Musikverein, where it traditionally begins on January 1. However, in Neuwied, the event has become a cherished local tradition, promising an evening of unforgettable music and culture.
Tickets for this highly anticipated event can be obtained from the Neuwied Tourist Information, Ticket-Regional advance sale points, and possibly at the box office. Pre-sales have already shown high levels of support, indicating that this concert is not to be missed.
For the most up-to-date and detailed information about the specific program, including any potential changes or additions, it is recommended to check official Rheinische Philharmonie announcements or concert brochures released closer to the performance date.
