The Phoenix Orchestra, under the spirited direction of Maestro Richard Cock, invites all to a glittering evening of Viennese waltzes, lively polkas, and timeless melodies by the Strauss family and their contemporaries.
Soprano and tenor soloists add extra glamour to the celebration with beloved operetta arias and duets - music full of romance, wit, and festive brilliance. Raise a glass to the year ahead and let the sweeping strings, dazzling rhythms, and golden charm of Vienna set the perfect tone for a joyful New Year’s celebration.
This concert is a part of the Johannesburg International Mozart Festival 2026 - a yearly celebration of one of the greatest composers in the Western Classical oeuvre which is dedicated to the upliftment and education of classical music in Johannesburg, and South Africa as a whole.
