Mariazeller Neujahrskonzert 2026

Afternoon concert: Start at 4:30 PM
Evening concert: Start at 7:30 PM

Members of the Bruckner Orchestra Linz founded the “Johann Strauss Ensemble” in 1985.
Today, it is one of the leading chamber orchestras in Austria and continuously works to refine its sound style and explore new paths away from the well-trodden repertoire trails.
A significant share of this development is attributed to Russel McGregor, who has been leading the ensemble since 2004 from the position of the lead violinist, in accordance with the Strauss tradition of the 19th century.
In addition to its regular concerts throughout Austria and nearly all countries in Europe, the “Johann Strauss Ensemble” delights its audience during its tours to the Netherlands, Belgium, Romania, Greece, China, and Australia – at sold-out performances.
Particular significance is given to concerts in the “smaller” Austrian music centers like Mariazell, where the ensemble has been appearing since 1999 at the “Mariazell New Year's Concert”.
