Every January 1 the New Year’s Concert 2024 comes on stage. The Great Hall of the Vienna Philharmonic will host this international musical event that reaches more than 90 million homes around the world.

Thielemann is known for being a specialist in playing the great German romantic directors, such as Anton Brucker, Richard Strauss and Richard Wagner. Personally, he is known for his demand, seriousness and self-confidence.

The Austrian television ORF, in co-production with the European Radio-Television Union (EBU-EBU-Eurovision) broadcasts the New Year’s Concert of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra to the whole world.
