The biggest musical event on New Year's Eve has to be the live broadcast of the New Year's concert put on by the Vienna Philharmonic and although it features many different guests, it's always about the music and the waltzes! And that's the theme of this week's show!

This week on host Alexander Mickelthwate talks to dancer and choreographer Odette Heyn about the waltz, its origins and tips on how to dance it. WSO musical expert James Manishen stops by to talk about legendary pianist Vladimir Horowitz and of course the music! We'll have some spectacular waltzes from Johann Strauss, Richard Strauss and Tchaikovsky.

 

 

Please note that 60 Minutes with the WSO will return Sunday January 10th with a brand new episode.

From everyone at the show we wish Classic 107 listeners a very merry Christmas and a safe & happy New Year!
