In the organizer's words:

While the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra welcomes the New Year with waltzes and polkas, the Berlin accordion orchestra Euphonia 2026 will kick off the "Year of the Accordion" with a festive New Year's concert in the concert hall of Berlin University of the Arts.

On Saturday, January 24, 2026, the orchestra invites you to an evening full of verve, esprit and timbre. The accordion unfolds its full diversity - from classical to operetta to contemporary music.

In 2026, the accordion is the "Instrument of the Year" - an invitation from the regional music councils to showcase this underestimated instrument for a whole year. At this concert, listeners can experience that it is far more than just a popular instrument. The musically diverse start to the year promises to inspire enthusiasm for the accordion - as lively as a Viennese waltz, as diverse as Berlin.
