Info for New Year's Concert 2022 / Concert du Nouvel An 2022

"A superlative feast for the ears", "a concert in a class of its own that puts you in a good mood", "the Vienna Philharmonic's performance is stunningly sparkling and charming" - this is how enthusiastic the voices around the world are about the traditional New Year's Concert of the Vienna Philharmonic, which will also take place in 2022 in the festively decorated "Golden Hall" of the Vienna Musikverein, famous for its perfect sound. In 2022, the concert will be conducted by the famous conductor Daniel Barenboim, who has a long-standing collaboration with this world-class orchestra and who is also known in this country as the head of the Berlin State Opera Unter den Linden and the Staatskapelle Berlin, as the founder and director of the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra and as a pianist. Millions of people around the world will experience this wonderful concert on television and radio, and the live recording of this concert, which features numerous New Year's Concert novelties, will be released by Sony Classical as in previous years.

The artistic collaboration with Maestro Barenboim as conductor began in 1989, although he first appeared with the orchestra as pianist in 1965. Since then he has conducted many joint concerts, including two New Year's Concerts (2009 and 2014), one Summer Night Concert (2009), Philharmonic subscription concerts, guest appearances and tours.

Daniel Froschauer, Chairman of the Vienna Philharmonic says: "Daniel Barenboim occupies an extraordinary place in the history of the Vienna Philharmonic. We have not only enjoyed a long and fruitful artistic partnership with him, but also a great friendship. We are grateful to Maestro Barenboim for conducting the first Vienna Philharmonic concert after the Corona Lockdown in June 2020 at the Musikverein. Next year, he will also celebrate his 80th birthday. As a sign of this deep artistic bond, we will ask him to take the podium of the New Year's Concert for the third time on January 1, 2022."

The New Year’s Concert live from Vienna is one of the world’s most famous and spectacular classical music events. It will be broadcast on TV and radio and reaches over 90 countries around the world with more than 50 million viewers.

The annual New Year's Day Concert in Vienna has been a major event for more than eight decades, since 1939.

Conducted by world-famous maestros such as Herbert von Karajan, Lorin Maazel, Claudio Abbado, Carlos Kleiber, Zubin Mehta, Riccardo Muti, Nikolaus Harnoncourt, Seiji Ozawa, Mariss Jansons, Franz Welser-Möst, Gustavo Dudamel and Christian Thielemann.

The Vienna Philharmonic, as musical ambassadors of Austria, send people all over the world a New Year's greeting in the spirit of hope, friendship and peace with the lively and light-hearted and at the same time nostalgic and profound music from the vast repertoire of the family of Johann Strauss and its contemporaries.

Wiener Philharmoniker
Daniel Barenboim, conductor

Daniel Barenboim
one of the outstanding musical figures of our time, was born in Buenos Aires to parents of Russian-Jewish descent. He began piano lessons at the age of five with his mother, continued musical studies with his father, and gave his first official concert in Buenos Aires when he was seven. In 1952, the family moved to Israel, and two years later his parents took Daniel to Salzburg to take part in Igor Markevitch’s conducting classes. Following his debut in Vienna and Rome in 1952, he soon became known as one of the most versatile pianists of his generation. Always active as a chamber musician, he performed most frequently with his late wife, cellist Jacqueline du Pré, and violinists Itzhak Perlman and Pinchas Zukerman. In song recitals, he has accompanied such artists as Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, Dame Janet Baker, Thomas Quasthoff, Anna Netrebko and Rolando Villazón.

From the mid-1960s, Barenboim began to devote more time to conducting. From 1975 to 1989 he was Music Director of the Orchestre de Paris. He made his opera debut in 1973 at the Edinburgh Festival and his Bayreuth Festival debut in 1981. In 1991, he succeeded Solti as Music Director of the Chicago Symphony and in 2006 was named “honorary conductor for life”. In 1992, he became General Music Director of Berlin’s Deutsche Staatsoper and in 2000, the Berlin Staatskapelle appointed him “chief conductor for life”. In 2006 he began a close relationship with La Scala and served as Music Director from 2007 to 2014. He also appears regularly with the Berliner Philharmoniker and the Wiener Philharmoniker.

In 1999, together with the late Palestinian-born writer and Columbia University professor Edward Said, Barenboim founded the West-Eastern Divan workshop and orchestra, bringing together talented young musicians from Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Tunisia and Israel to make music under the guidance of some of the world’s finest musicians.

A prolific, prize-winning recording artist since making his first recordings for Philips in 1954, Daniel Barenboim began his close association with Deutsche Grammophon in 1972. His vast discography on the Yellow Label features the artist as conductor of orchestral works and operas, and as pianist in chamber music, song recitals and solo repertoire. In 2010, he signed a wide-ranging new contract with Deutsche Grammophon and Decca Classics.
