What's happening in the music
We’re bringing you Gateshead’s very own version of the famous Vienna New Year’s Day concert with this event. There’s going to be waltzes to sweep you off your feet, some gorgeous songs with our special guest soprano, and some fast-paced polkas to leave you (and the orchestra) breathless. This is music for a special occasion, light, fun, and a bit naughty.
