New Year's Concert by the Vienna Youth Philharmonic Orchestra: Carmen and Love

Sa., 03.01.2026 from 17:00 o'clock

Every year a new original program – this is how the Junge Philharmonie Wien, under its conductor Michael Lessky, has presented itself in symphonic form at the New Year's concert for almost two decades in the Styrian community in the district of Murau. On January 3, 2026, at 5 PM in the Greimhalle, the focus this time is on the southern, fiery music from G. Bizet's opera "Carmen": composed exactly 150 years ago, and at the heart of the Salzburg Festival in 2026, this program comes at just the right time. The Croatian alto Martina Mikelic will be featured as the soloist.

The Junge Philharmonie Wien is the national youth orchestra of Austria, whose Styrian members are supported with scholarships from the state of Styria.

Michael Lessky is a welcome guest conductor in St. Peter, who will perform again in 2026 with the Haifa Symphony Orchestra and at the Salzburg Festival.
