Vibrant New Year's Concert in Kielzog theate

Vibrant New Year’s Concert in Kielzog theate Step into an afternoon of sparkling, versatile music that launches the new year with excitement and tradition. The Volks‑Kultur‑Schauspielorchester (VKSO), under the baton of Lubertus Leutscher, returns for its fourth New Year’s concert, offering a program that effortlessly moves between the familiar waltzes of Johann Strauss and the thrill‑seeking themes of John Williams. The concert opens with a dazzling brass fanfare, and the full‑bodied orchestra then drifts between Viennese elegance and the silver screen magic of Hollywood. Adding an unforgettable twist, popular vocalist Martijje joins the orchestra for a spell‑binding medley of cinematic classics. Sing along to the spirited tunes of “The Lion King,” “The Greatest Showman,” and “The Wizard of Oz,” each delivered with fresh orchestral depth and Martijje’s dynamic voice. Highlights include: * **Tradition & Classical** – “Kaiserwaltzer” and “Annen Polka” by Johann Strauss, and “Fanfare pour Preceder La Peri” by Paul Dukas (performed with the VKSO brass section). * **Film & Musical** – “Harry’s Wondrous World” and “Indiana Jones Suite” by John Williams, “How To Train Your Dragon” (arranged by Sean O’Loughlin), “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” (arranged by J. Meiborg for Elton John), “Never Enough From The Greatest Snowman” (arranged by H. Gerrits for John Debney), and “Somewhere over The Rainbow” (arranged by H. Gerrits for Harold Arlen).
