Friday, January 1 at 11 a.m. – New Year's Day From Vienna 2010 Live

(Rochester, NY) – Join us on New Year's Day 2010, for a sparkling celebration, live from the Golden Hall at the Musikverein in Vienna. The Vienna Philharmonic presents its annual New Year’s Day from Vienna, including your favorite waltzes and polkas, and so much more. Korva Coleman hosts the most popular classical music concert in the world, the Vienna Philharmonic New Year's Day concert.

Originating during a dark period of Austria's history, these concerts were initially conceived for a local audience as a reminder of better times and a source of hope for the future. Today millions of people throughout the world are similarly encouraged by the light-hearted yet subtly profound character of this music, and draw joy and optimism for the New Year ahead.

New Year's Day from Vienna 2010 airs Friday, January 1 at 11 a.m. on Classical 91.5/90.3/FM-HD 91.5-1.
