The outstanding Strauss Festival Orchestra will offer the traditional New Year’s concert at the Palau de la Musica Catalana with the best Johann Strauss waltz and polkas. The Strauss Festival Orchestra has had great success at the different European auditoriums such as the Amsterdam Concertgebouw, Leipzing Gewandhaus, Berlin Philarmonie or the Hamburg Musikhalle. The Orchestra consists of great qualified professional teachers and soloists that keep the typical Viennese artistic expressions. The Palau de la Musica was opened on February 9th 1908 and is one of the most representative Catalan modernist style buildings. It has been the privileged stage for the national and international concert life of the city of Barcelona for one hundred years.
