Brian Kay presents the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra's traditional new year concert of music by the Strauss family and friends, live from the Golden Hall of Vienna's Musikverein. Joining them for the first time this year as guest conductor is Seiji Ozawa, who becomes music director of the Vienna State Opera later this year. Alongside old favourites like the Blue Danube and Wiener Blut waltzes and the Radetzky March, his programme shows a particular penchant for the rich and often melancholic genius of Josef Strauss - younger brother of the Waltz King. "Josef," said Johann, "is the more gifted of us two - I'm merely the more popular."

10.50 Interval: The Trout Sextet, or The One That Got Away
In summer 1819 the famous singer Johann Michael Vogl takes his young composer friend Franz Schubert on a holiday trip to Upper Austria, with unexpected musical results...

Verity Sharp presents a live concert featuring four distinctive bands playing music from Africa, India, South America and the Middle East. UK-based Zohar describe their music as "a middle-eastern voyage into sound" and combine sampled Jewish and Arabic voices with their own contemporary and ambient beats.

Conjunto Sabroso is one of the most original Latin bands to have emerged in the UK today. Featuring the sound of the Cuban tres this lively ten-piece band brings together musicians from all over Latin America, led by charismatic Colombian singer Luz Elena. Supergroup Alaap - the "Godfathers of Bhangra" - were founded in 1977. They have collaborated with the biggest Bollywood names in India and have had countless hits featuring their combination of virtuosic vocals, brilliant percussion and sheer personality. And the Bhundu Boys: a feel-good band who put the sound of Zimbabwean jitjive on the map. The Los Angeles Times recently described them as "simply a sensational group".
