Can I please suggest that all the items for the 2025 New Year Concert should feature one composer only as it is the 200th anniversary of Johann Strauss son birth.
A mixture of the familiar and World Premiers should be on the programme. One of the items especially to consider is his mindblowing Cycloiden Waltz opus 207. A truely remarkable creation.
Kind Regards
Best Wishes
