The New York Philhamonic This Week is Pre-empted for a New Year’s Day Special

Tonight at 7:00 on the “Evening Concert” on WILL-FM 90.9 we pre-empt “The New York Philharmonic This Week” to bring you a holiday special “New Year’s Day from Vienna”. Christian Thielemann leads the Vienna Philharmonic in favorite waltzes, polkas, and other selections heard on a typical New Years Day concert.

Monday, January 1, 7:00 pm: The New York Philharmonic (NYP 24-15) PRE-EMPTED

New Years Day from Vienna

The ever-popular annual New Year’s Day Concert will be performed by the Vienna Philharmonic under the baton of Christian Thielemann. With this concert it is not only the desire of the Vienna Philharmonic to provide musically definitive interpretations of the masterworks of this genre, but also, 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. Recorded earlier in the day.
