New Year’s Gala Concert

The Orchestra Cameristi della Scala from Milan will be conducted by Dionysis Grammenos. This 30 years old Greek conductor was hailed by “Die Welt” as “one of the most promising stars of tomorrow”.

It is no longer necessary to present the brilliant virtuoso Khatia Buniatishvili who will fascinate the audience with her incomparable interpretation of Rachmaninov’s magnificent Concerto No. 2. In the second part, the Cameristi will immerse the public in the atmosphere of the famous Vienna New Year’s Concert, echoing the famous tunes of Johann Strauss and Franz von Suppé.
