Resident Conductor and Artistic Advisor of the London Mozart Players Jonathan Bloxham takes the Orchestra for a spin in an exuberant finale for 2023. Soprano Alexandra Lowe (Fiordiligi in Opera North’s New Year Così fan tutte) joins the ensemble in arias and song.

A traditional selection of Strauss Family polkas, marches and waltzes is sprinkled with Romantic delights from Dvořák and Brahms, a Gershwin gem to mark the composer’s 125th year, and some treats from the Strausses’ spiritual heir, Erich Wolfgang Korngold. The ‘Blue Danube’ and The Radetzky March return to the source to complete an essential new year celebration.
