Thomas Quasthoff Sings Frank Sinatra 2026–2027 – New Year’s Eve at Vienna Konzerthaus

Welcome to Thomas Quasthoff Sings Frank Sinatra 2026–2027 in Vienna

On 31 December 2026, Vienna’s Konzerthaus marks the turn of the year with a special New Year’s Eve concert: Thomas Quasthoff sings Frank Sinatra. From 22:30 until around 01:00 in the Großer Saal, the Great American Songbook fills the hall – with the ORF Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra, a jazz combo and the bass-baritone who brings Sinatra’s elegance into the classical concert tradition. The evening frames the move from 2026 into 2027 and stands apart from a standard night-time concert.

Highlights & Attractions at Thomas Quasthoff Sings Frank Sinatra in Vienna

• New Year’s Eve concert in the Großer Saal of the Wiener Konzerthaus: starts 22:30, ends around 01:00 – midnight is part of the experience.
• Thomas Quasthoff, one of the leading bass-baritones of his generation, interprets Frank Sinatra classics with narrative clarity and jazz-inflected ease.
• ORF Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra conducted by Gottfried Rabl – full orchestral colours for American Songbook arrangements.
• Jazz combo with Simon Oslender on piano, guitar, double bass and Reinhold Schmölzer on drums for swinging, more intimate passages.
• Repertoire in the spirit of Sinatra: elegant standards, crooner phrasing and big melodies – not a straight covers show.
• Media partner Ö1 Club; organised by the Wiener Konzerthausgesellschaft.
• Wheelchair seats on request via [email protected]; evening box office usually from one hour before the start.

Program & Schedule: What to Expect in 2026–2027

The concert begins on 31 December 2026 at 22:30 and runs until approximately 01:00 on 1 January 2027. The year change is built into the evening, unlike a regular concert. Quasthoff is the focus; orchestra and jazz rhythm section alternate, combining symphonic breadth with swing. A detailed set list is usually published closer to the date by the Wiener Konzerthaus; expect timeless numbers from the Great American Songbook in the style of Frank Sinatra.

Line-up (as officially announced): Thomas Quasthoff (vocals), Simon Oslender (piano), guitar and double bass, Reinhold Schmölzer (drums), Gottfried Rabl (conductor) and the ORF Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra. Subject to change by the organiser.
