The 2016 classical music calendar will be brought to a close by what promises to be the highlight of the year, the Berliner Philharmoniker orchestra’s New Year’s Eve concert. Music lovers in the Berlin Philharmonie concert hall on 31 December will be joined by audiences at live screenings in numerous cinemas across Europe.
Starting at 5 p.m. Berlin time, the performance by Chief Conductor Sir Simon Rattle, the highly acclaimed young pianist Daniil Trifonov and the Berliner Philharmoniker will be broadcast live to classical music devotees in exceptional audio and video quality at more than 240 cinemas in 15 European countries, including no less than 114 cinemas in Germany.
