The Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra plays Johann Strauss waltzes, polkas and marches for the New Year, conducted by Tom Fetherstonhaugh with soprano Claudia Boyle.
The Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra are coming to the Weymouth Pavilion on Saturday 9 January for a New Year Viennese Gala, their take on the traditional start-of-year concert. It's a night of waltzes, polkas and marches, with the programme built around Johann Strauss II, his family and their contemporaries.
Strauss' big hits are the core of it: the Fledermaus Overture, Thunder and Lightning Polka, the Radetzky March and The Blue Danube are all on the bill. Alongside those, the orchestra will play works by Franz von SuppĆ©, Josef Strauss and Offenbach, so it's not just one family on stage. The BSO describe it as the swirling majesty and joyous sounds of the traditional Viennese Gala, and that's a fair summary of what you're getting ā the waltzes and marches that usually define these New Year concerts.
