The Berliner Philharmoniker and chief conductor Kirill Petrenko will bring this year to a close with more of a bang than a whimper.
Star pianist Daniil Trifonov opens the New Year’s Eve concert with Johannes Brahms’ Second Piano Concerto, an arresting blend of high drama and lyrical tenderness. After interval, the heady intoxication of Richard Strauss’ Rosenkavalier will be followed by a far more savage dance from the same composer's Salome. Why tip-toe into 2025 when you can be propelled by a tsunami of vengeance?!
You can experience the programme in a number of ways: directly in the Philharmonie, as a live broadcast in the Digital Concert Hall, on Arte or Radio 3, or in one of many cinemas near you.
