The 2018 Vienna Philharmonic New Year's Concert takes place on January 1, 2018, under the baton of Riccardo Muti in the Musikverein in Vienna. This year's concert will mark the fifth time - after 1993, 1997, 2000 and 2004 - that Riccardo Muti, whose close ties with the Vienna Philharmonic extend over several decades, conducts this prestigious event.
The 2018 New Year's Concert will be broadcast in over 90 countries and followed by as many as 50 million television viewers around the world.
When Riccardo Muti raises his baton for the New Year's Concert on January 1, 2018, it will mark the fifth time that he has conducted this prestigious concert. Also a product of a partnership with tradition will be the floral arrangements throughout the Golden Hall of the Vienna Musikverein, which delight concertgoers as well as viewers of the television broadcast around the world. Since 2015, the Vienna Philharmonic has cooperated with the Vienna City Gardens, which along with the Austrian gardeners and florists, have produced the arrangements which light up the Golden Hall in a resplendent sea of blossoming floral color.
The conceptualization of the annual floral arrangements requires a great deal of experience and professional expertise. The positioning of the arrangements begins on December 27, in order that everything is ready on time for this worldwide cultural event
