The Alabama Symphony Orchestra will welcome the new year with New Year’s Eve: A Viennese Celebration, a longstanding holiday tradition conducted by Chris Confessore and inspired by the Vienna Philharmonic’s iconic New Year concert.
The program highlights the elegance and charm of Old-World Europe through the music of Johann Strauss Jr. and his family, along with other works that capture the romance and refinement of 19th-century Vienna. Graceful waltzes and spirited polkas set the tone for an evening rooted in celebration and tradition.
Joining the orchestra is soprano Laura Corina Sanders, whose performance adds a vocal centerpiece to the program. The concert is designed as both a musical celebration and a reflection on Vienna’s lasting influence on classical music and cultural tradition.
The performance is presented with support from concert sponsors Dr. Chandler and Jane Paris Smith.
