Vienna New Year's Concert 2025: Riccardo Muti Conducts for the Seventh Time

The 83-year-old has conducted the Vienna Philharmonic over 500 times to date, including six times on January 1st, and has been an honorary member of the orchestra since 2011. "Riccardo Muti has held an extraordinary position in the history of the Vienna Philharmonic for over 50 years. [...] He has uniquely shaped the repertoire and the specific sound of the orchestra," Philharmonic Chairman Daniel Froschauer paid tribute to the conductor.
