On Friday, December 27, the New Year’s Concert of the Belgrade Philharmonic Orchestra will feature some of the most beautiful symphonic finales, performing under the baton of Christian Schumann (Kolarac Concert Hall, 8 PM). As one of the orchestra’s most anticipated events, this year’s program promises a delightful journey through the extraordinary selection of closing movements of some of the greatest and the most iconic symphonies in music history.

Spanning works from the 18th to the 20th centuries, the Belgrade Philharmonic Orchestra will perform finales from the symphonies of Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, and Mendelssohn, as well as Tchaikovsky, Dvořák, Sibelius, and Shostakovich. This vibrant musical journey will be led by German conductor Christian Schumann, a modern and versatile artist acclaimed for his exceptional talents and innovative approach.

A multitalented conductor of the younger generation, Schumann has quickly established himself as a global sensation, excelling not only as an opera and concert conductor, but also as a composer and arranger. Recognised as a leading authority in contemporary and film music, Schumman’s portfolio includes projects that blend video game scores, jazz, and modern electronic music. His dynamic versatility makes him the perfect choice to lead this year’s festive Philharmonic celebratory concert.

For years, the Belgrade Philharmonic Orchestra has been traditionally treating its audience with unique year-end performances, always filled with outstanding music and an upbeat atmosphere. Tickets for this year’s New Year’s concert are already sold out, but there is good news for those who missed out: standing tickets will be available one hour before the start of the concert, from 7 PM, sold at the Kolarac Concert Hall box office for a price of 1,000 RSD.
