Happy New Year from Linz, Austria




At midnight, the newly named "Capital of Culture 2009, Linz Austria", ushered in the new year with fireworks above the Danube and with all kinds of musical surprises. The Danube and its embankments between the new Ars Electronica Centre, the Nibelungen bridge, the Lentos Kunstmuseum and the Brucknerhaus hosted a dazzling and colorful spectacle.
Along the banks of the Danube, the Group "Raketensinfonie above the Danube" - lead by Tom Ryser, with Orlando Gough and The Shout, as well as choral groups from throughout the Province of Upper Austria... became a spectacular world premiere featuring 800 singers and amazing fireworks!

It was simply amazing! Words cannot describe how incredible this New Year's Eve was! I was awestruck and in tears!
