The 2019 Vienna Philharmonic New Year's Concert takes place on January 1, 2019, under the baton of Christian Thielemann in the Musikverein in Vienna. The New Year's Concert 2019 represents Thielemann's first time to conduct this prestigious international concert event. The 2019 New Year's Concert will be broadcast in over 90 countries and followed by as many as 40 million television viewers around the world.

The Vienna Philharmonic will perform compositions by Carl Michael Ziehrer, Josef Strauss, Josef Hellmesberger, Jr., Johann Strauss, Jr. and Eduard Strauss.

The 2018/2019 season is Christian Thielemann’s seventh as Principal Conductor of the Staatskapelle Dresden. Following engagements at the Deutsche Oper Berlin, in Gelsenkirchen, Karlsruhe, Hanover and Dusseldorf, in 1988 he moved to Nuremberg to occupy the post of Generalmusikdirektor. In 1997 he returned to his hometown of Berlin to direct the Deutsche Oper until 2004, when he became Music Director of the Munich Philharmonic, a post he occupied until 2011. In addition to his current position in Dresden, Thielemann has been Artistic Director of the Salzburg Easter Festival since 2013, where the Staatskapelle is resident orchestra. Thielemann has since 2000 been a musical partner of the Vienna Philharmonic.


Once again this year, to the delight of concertgoers and viewers of the television broadcast around the world, the Vienna City Gardens, along with the Austrian gardeners and florists, will produce the arrangements which light up the Golden Hall in a resplendent sea of blossoming floral color.

Due to extremely high demand, tickets for the three traditional end of year concerts of the Vienna Philharmonic are drawn by lot over this website at the beginning of each year. In this way, music lovers from all over the world have an equal chance to purchase these highly desired tickets.

Between February 1 and 28, 2019, applications will be accepted to take part in the drawing for tickets to the end of year concerts 2019/20.
