New Year’s Eve Concert with Berliner PhilharmonikerNew Year’s Eve Concert with Berliner Philharmoniker

The Berliner Philharmoniker and Kirill Petrenko perform a humorous New Year's Eve programme with Prokofiev, Shostakovich, Malofeev, Guerrier and Strauss.

The Berliner Philharmoniker and chief conductor Kirill Petrenko use their 2026 New Year's Eve Concert to show that classical music can be humorous. The programme includes Sergei Prokofiev's Symphonie classique, which parodies music by Haydn and Mozart, and Dmitri Shostakovich's Double Concerto for Piano and Trumpet, written with the First Viennese School in mind. Pianist Alexander Malofeev, born in 2001, makes his debut in the Shostakovich alongside principal trumpeter David Guerrier. The programme also includes Richard Strauss's Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks.
