He was honored with the Vienna Philharmonic Ring of Honour in 1992.

It’s long been a philharmonic tradition at the New Year to present a program consisting of lively and, at the same time, nostalgic music from the vast repertoire of Johann Strauss and his contemporaries. The 2025 concert program celebrated the 200th anniversary of Strauss’s birth, featuring many of his timeless waltzes and orchestral works.

The 2025 New Year’s Concert was held at the Golden Hall of the Vienna Musikverein, broadcast to over 90 countries, and watched by millions of viewers worldwide.
