New Year's Concert

Philzuid is festively ringing in the brand-new 2026 with danceable music from all corners of the globe. A varied program will take you on a journey. From Chopin to Dvořak and from Copland to Khachaturian: this evening offers a rich palette of styles and melodies. Be surprised by musical worlds ranging from ABBA's global hit (Dancing Queen!) to classics like Márquez's Danzon No. 2. Philzuid is pulling out all the stops, led by conductor John Axelrod. No New Year's concert is complete without a special guest. That's why Philzuid is giving its own solo clarinetist, Jules Baeten, a dazzling performance in Aaron Copland's Clarinet Concerto. This New Year's Concert is the perfect, versatile way to start the new year.
