PRESS RELEASE – The EBU has a 5-year distribution agreement with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra running until 2027, under which it acquired TV and radio broadcast rights for a package of three classical concerts per year. Dozens of EBU Members subscribe to this package. More than double that number outside the EBU area also broadcast the annual New Year’s Day Concert.
NEW YEAR’S DAY CONCERT
Hosted by the EBU’s Austrian Member ORF, the concert achieves staggering market shares of over 40% in several countries and reaches over 40 million television viewers around the world via the Eurovision satellite network.
The orchestra performs a different musical programme every year with works from the vast repertoire of the Johann Strauss family and its contemporaries under the baton of the world’s most prestigious conductors.
Barenboim first appeared with the Vienna Philharmonic as a pianist in 1965, and his artistic collaboration with the orchestra began in 1989.
Barenboim has been awarded the Great Cross of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany, has been named Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire, Commandeur de la Légion d’honneur and UN Messenger of Peace. He has also received an honorary doctorate from Oxford University.
