For decades, on New Year’s Day, Vienna has attracted thousands of spectators with the now well-established concert of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, which performs, among other things, wonderful works by members of the Strauss family. The captivating waltzes and merry polkas that are broadcast worldwide have become synonymous in our minds with the hope and smiles that the dawn of a new year brings. This year, our own Camerata, an orchestra that is constantly in the spotlight with successful performances around the world, gives Athenian audiences the opportunity to enjoy the festive musical atmosphere of the Austrian capital in the heart of Athens. Under the baton of the renowned conductor George Petrou, the Camerata brings us notes of joy and optimism and invites us to welcome 2025 with the light and sparkling sounds of the music of Johann Strauss (son), admittedly the most inspiring representative of the Strausses.
