Background: The 2008 New Year’s Day Concert will be conducted by the eminent conductor Georges Prêtre for the first time. Prêtre is the first French citizen to receive this honour. The concert programme for 1st January 2008 will be the customary cornucopia of Strauss delights, but this time with a French theme.

The sumptuous setting of the Musikverein Wien provides the traditional backdrop.

Maestro Prêtre has a special association with the Wiener Philharmoniker dating back to 1966. He is one of the few French Artists to have received the highest decorations both in France and abroad. In 2004 he became Commander of the French Légion d’honneur and was decorated with the Austrian Cross for Services Rendered to Science and the Arts. He also became Honorary Member of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Vienna - the highest decoration an artist can obtain in Vienna.
