the Vienna Philharmonic
Powerpoint Show by DOINA

The New Year Concert of the Vienna Philarmonic Orchestra
is a concert of classical music that takes place each year
in the morning of January 1 in of one billion in 57 countries.
2. These concerts not only delight the audiences in the Musikverein in Vienna, but also enjoy great international popularity
through the world wide television broadcasts, which now reach over 57 countries.
Originating during a dark period of Austria's history, these concerts were initially conceived for a local audience as
a reminder of better times and a source of hope for the future.
Today millions of people throughout the world are similarly encouraged by the light-hearted yet subtly
profound character of this music, and draw joy and optimism for the New Year ahead.
3. The origin of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra dates back to 28 March 1842, when Otto Nicolai,
composer of The Merry Wives of Windsor,
conducted a "great concert" promoted by "all the orchestral musicians of the Royal Imperial Court Opera Theatre".
The principles then laid down are still valid today, the orchestra being a self-governing, democratic institution.
4. These concerts have been held
in the "Großer Saal" (Large Hall) of
the Wiener Musikverein since 1939.
The flowers that decorate
the concert hall are a gift each year from
the city of Sanremo, Liguria, Italy.

The demand for tickets is so high that people
have to preregister one year in advance in order to participate in the drawing of tickets for the following year.
Indeed, many seats are reserved by some Austrian families and passed down from
generation to generation.
The event is broadcast by the Eurovision Network which includes most major networks around Europe
(including BBC Two in the United Kingdom).
It is also broadcast on PBS in the United States (beginning in 1985), TVE in Spain,
NHK in Japan, SBS in Australia etc.
Since 2006, the concert has been broadcast to viewers in several African countries
(Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Swaziland, Zambia and Zimbabwe) and those
in Latin America (Ecuador and Bolivia).
13. The concert always ends with three encores after the main programme.
The first encore is a fast polka. The second encore is Johann Strauss II’s Blue Danube Waltz, whose introduction is
interrupted by
applause of recognition from the audience.
The musicians then collectively wish the audience a happy new year, play The Blue Danube and close
With Johann Strauss. Sr.’s Radetzky March.
During this last festive piece, the audience participates with the traditional clap-along,
and the conductor turns to the audience in time to conduct them instead of the orchestra.

genre, but at the same time, as musical ambassadors of Austria, to send people all over the world a New Year's greeting
in the spirit of hope, friendship and peace.
