Countdown Strauss featuring Martin Grubinger Superband

A come-and-join-us project for the opening of Johann Strauss 2025 Vienna

Late on New Year’s Eve, Johann Strauss 2025 Vienna will be transforming the square outside Vienna’s City Hall into a stage for all-comers. In conjunction with the digital music school MyGroove, we will be assembling a 100-man/woman super-band made up of Viennese citizens to usher in the New Year with an unusual new arrangement of the Blue Danube waltz by and with Martin Grubinger.

“In 2025 we shall be celebrating Johann Strauss and the optimism and togetherness that his music stands for. His works are a glorious reflection of Vienna’s cultural eminence. The Strauss Festival Year rests on three pillars: new events, artistic diversity, and sustainable value creation in art, economy and tourism.”
