Lieblingsklassiker: Silvesterkonzert - Ohne Sorge

François Leleux and the KAP ring in the New Year with lively classics by Offenbach, Strauss, and Mozart

Ring in the New Year with verve and dance! An overture and spirited quadrilles by Jacques Offenbach promise just as much cheerful entertainment as selected music by Johann Strauss: whether it’s his lively Pizzicato Polka, the timeless waltz “On the Beautiful Blue Danube,” or the carefree “Sanssouci” Quadrille. Mozart’s Sinfonia concertante brings virtuosic brilliance, while opera music by Gioacchino Rossini ignites Italian passion.

From Leroy Anderson’s humorous *Sandpaper Ballet*, the lively dances from *L’Arlésienne* by Georges Bizet, and Astor Piazzolla’s sensual *Oblivion*, the program spans the spectrum from waltz bliss to tango passion—a sparkling end to the year full of wit and joie de vivre.
