New Year's concert in Cochem: Magic sounds in the Capuchin monastery!
On January 13, 2025, a New Year's concert by the Chamber Music ensemble Laubenheim (Kamel) took place in the Capuchin Monastery Cultural Center in Cochem. The concert entitled "Fantasyten" offered the audience a varied musical food that inspired the audience. New Year's concerts have a long tradition that goes back almost 85 years. The famous Viennese Philharmonic are considered pioneers of this concert series and have played a crucial role in establishing this festive tradition that has developed over generations.

The path of the Vienna Philharmonic for the full -fledged appreciation of Johann Strauß's music is shaped by several decisive events. The premiere of the waltz "Wiener Blood" took place on April 22, 1873. This marked the beginning of a valuable relationship with Strauss, which extended over several decades and has repeatedly reached new highlights. These tragic, beautiful moments and interactions are part of the rich history associated with the New Year's concerts. The first performance of a bouquet work in the significant concert format on December 31, 1939 is particularly noteworthy. At that time, many recognized the performance as a "real Viennese joy festival", a tradition that is continued to this day. The New Year's concerts are constantly developing and attracting audiences from all over the world, while at the same time serving as a platform for countless artists. The recognition of the Strauß dynasty and the influence of this music on the cultural identity of Vienna is also reflected in the current performances of New Year's concerts. Every year the New Year's concert enchants viewers with a mixture of traditional and modern compositions that not only entertain, but also celebrate the deeply rooted history and the cultural value of classical music.
