The Arsht Center is Alive with the Sound of MISO's Music!

Clap your hands and stomp your feet (no, really!) at The MISO’s signature event, An Evening in Vienna, happening this Sunday at the Arsht Center.

The event emulates the famous New Year’s Day concert performed by the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, which takes place every January 1 in Vienna.  In Austria, the demand for tickets to this lively event is so high that concertgoers have to pre-register a year in advance in order to participate in the drawing of tickets for the following year and some are even passed down through families, from generation to generation.

And in Miami, An Evening in Vienna is equally popular.  For the last twenty years, both tourists and locals have flocked to the concert to enjoy MISO performing pieces from some of Austria’s best composers, whose genius helped establish Vienna as a city of elegance and sophistication. Eduardo Marturet, MISO’s Music Director, will lead the audience to join in clapping and stomping their feet in time to the music, and maybe even start a dance or two.

Originating during a dark time in Austria’s history, the concert idea was conceived with the intention of bringing local audiences a reminder of better times and a source of hope for the future.

In the context of our current times, MISO’s 21^st anniversary of An Evening in Vienna is especially relevant, as we all have reasons to hope for a better, brighter 2010. When you join us for An Evening in Vienna, we hope that you are similarly encouraged by the joyful, yet subtly profound character of this music, and draw hope and optimism for the New Year ahead!
