Concerto de Ano Novo
Event
Entering the new year sets the tone for a concert where the famous Strauss dynasty had to be present, represented by its second generation, the brothers Johann, Josef and Eduard. An indispensable tradition in Viennese ballrooms, dance orchestras have also inspired composers from other places, such as the Danish Hans Christian Lumbye - nicknamed the “Strauss of the North”. Conductor Takuo Yuasa lived and worked in Vienna and was closely familiar with a tradition that attracts thousands of visitors from around the world and gave rise to the famous New Year’s concerts by the Vienna Philharmonic. Casa da Música also kick-starts 2020 with the right foot, the left foot and the whole body taken over by the rhythms of waltzes, polkas and galops.
