The Vienna Philharmonic has announced that its 2026 New Year’s concert will be conducted for the first time by Yannick Nézet-Séguin. The Canadian conductor has collaborated regularly with the orchestra since the 2010 Mozartwoche in Salzburg.

A very beautiful concert, tinted on numerous occasions of a certain seriousness and marked by the programming, for the first time, of a female composer: Constanze Geiger with the Ferdinand-Walzer. In his address to the public, the moved leader wished in Italian “peace, fraternity and love to the whole world”. (NF)
