This coming Sunday is the return performance of Salute to Vienna, the traditional Viennese New Year's concert, Sunday, Jan. 3, 2010 at 2:30 p.m. in Orchestra Hall at Symphony Center, 220 S. Michigan Ave.

The performance combines the brilliant talents of The Strauss Symphony of America with stellar European maestros, tenors, sopranos and dancers to perform and celebrate the glorious, uplifting music of Vienna's "Waltz King" Johann Strauss Jr. and his contemporaries. Salute to Vienna is reminiscent of Vienna's famous and beloved NEUJAHRSKONZERT, the 70 year old tradition performed by the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra and televised annually to 1.3 billion people around the globe. Featuring a cast of more than 75 musicians, singers and dancers, the new 2010 program highlights will still include the ever popular operetta excerpts, waltzes, polkas and marches.

The 2010 international cast includes: Austrian conductor, Hans Richter, making his Salute to Vienna debut at Orchestra Hall, Hungarian soprano, Anita Lukács, Hungarian tenor, Zsolt Vadász and six members of the acclaimed Vienna City Ballet. Ticket prices are as low as $27 and are now on sale at 312.294.3000 or online at www.cso.org.
