Experience the start of 2020 in a joyous euphoria

As is traditional, the Concertgebouw opens the New Year with a whirl of dance music, including the classics of uncrowned 'King of the Waltz', Johann Strauss Jnr. Star of the day is clarinet virtuoso Annelien Van Wauwe. She unleashes her devils and treats us to Carl-Maria von Weber’s rarely performed First Clarinet Concerto. Let yourself be swept away by lively rhythms and melodies and experience the start of 2020 in a joyous euphoria! Cheers!

After the concert, Concertgebouw Brugge and the Mayor of Bruges Dirk De fauw invite you to toast the New Year.
