From Vienna to the world:
We are delighted to announce that the 2026 New Year’s Concert will be conducted by Yannick Nézet-Séguin — marking his first time leading this world-renowned event. 
The artistic collaboration between Yannick Nézet-Séguin and the Vienna Philharmonic began in 2010 at the Mozart Week in Salzburg. Since then, he has conducted the orchestra regularly in Vienna, Salzburg, and on tour, with one notable highlight being the Summer Night Concert 2023.
In selecting Yannick Nézet-Séguin, we continue our commitment to fostering collaboration with the next generation of conductors.
Slippedisc says: Do not mistake this for an arrtistic decision. It is a shrewd commercial assessment of who will play best in the Vienna Phil’s touring and television markets. Manbag and all.
