The Music Center Stands Against All Hate and Terrorism
In these times, when many are being treated without regard for humanity, we must decry the use of brutality against innocent peoples, no matter their affiliation or nationality.
We grieve the many lives lost and join with our elected officials as well as community and religious leaders in uplifting our common humanity and seeking a path towards peace for Israelis and Palestinians.

Salute to Vienna New Year’s Concert is a joyful, lively experience that has delighted audiences in Los Angeles for more than 15 years. Every holiday season, this beloved tradition bursts to life at the Music Center’s Walt Disney Concert Hall with music, bright costumes, and lush flowers. As dancers enliven timeless melodies, including the Blue Danube Waltz, the Maestro regales the audience with stories (and a joke or two) from the conductor’s podium. Ring in 2025 with soaring arias, romantic duets, and festive overtures, courtesy of the “Waltz King,” Johann Strauss, Jr.
This beloved musical celebration evokes the enchantment and grandeur of Vienna’s Golden Age with a new cast and musical program each year. Performed by some of Europe’s finest singers, internationally celebrated dancers, and a full orchestra conducted by an expert in Viennese music, this concert experience is the perfect way to greet the New Year. Just like a champagne toast at midnight, it wouldn’t be New Year’s without Salute to Vienna.
Presented by Attila Glatz Concert Productions. Artists subject to change without notice. More information at salutetovienna.com
