The Symphony Hall New Year's Eve Concert 2025

Dive into the glittering spectacle of the 2025 New Year’s Eve at Symphony Hall, where the Japan Century Symphony Orchestra, under the dynamic baton of Keitaro Harada, transforms the evening into an unforgettable auditory celebration. The program begins with Mone Hattori’s soaring violin interpretation of Jacques Offenbach’s “Cancan” from *Heaven and Hell*, setting the stage for a cascade of beloved classics and energizing surprises. Feel the heartbeat of “Sound of Music” in Richard Rogers’s spirited medley, then be transported to Italy with Pietro Mascagni’s emotive “Intermezzo” from *Cavalleria Rusticana*. The Argentine flair of Astor Piazzolla’s infectious “Libertango” and the tropical romance of his “Four Seasons of Buenos Aires,” masterfully arranged by Desyatnikov, will have you swaying in the balcony. A triumphant nod to modern adventure follows with John Williams’ iconic “Raiders March.” Witness the kinetic charm of Johann Strauss II as he delivers a rousing “Polka ‘Thunder and Lightning’,” the shimmering “New Pizzicato Polka,” the timeless “Waltz ‘The Blue Danube’,” and the exuberant “Overture to the comic opera ‘The Gypsy Baron’." Rounding out this sonic feast, the dazzling virtuosity of Pablo Sarasate with his signature “Zigeunerweisen” concludes the program, leaving fans both elated and reflective as the old year bows out and the new one beckons. *Watch the full experience and secure your virtual seat by visiting the Details & tickets link.*
