On 1.1.2013, don’t forget the Vienna Philharmonics New Years Day performance which is broadcast on your local PBS station on the program “Great Performances”. Look up the times and I suggest record it if you won’t be home. We never miss it.
If you’ve never seen it and like Strauss Waltzes played with Ballet, along with some beautiful Viennese scenery, you’re in for a treat.
If you HAVE seen it, you don’t need ME to explain it, but here’s the playlist:
Josef Strauss: The Soubrette, Fast Polka, op. 109
Johann Strauss, Jr.: Kiss Waltz, op. 400
Josef Strauss: Theater Quadrille, op. 213
Johann Strauss, Jr.: From the Mountains, Waltz, op. 292
Franz von Suppé: Overture to the Operetta “Light Cavalry”
Josef Strauss: Music of the Spheres, Waltz, op. 235
Josef Strauss: The Spinstress, Polka française, op. 192
Richard Wagner: Prelude to Act III of the Romantic Opera “Lohengrin”, WWV 75
Joseph Hellmesberger, Jr.: In Confidence, Polka mazur, op. 15
Josef Strauss: Hesperus’ Paths, Waltz, op. 279
Josef Strauss: The Runners, Fast Polka, op. 237
Joseph Lanner: Styrian Dances, op. 165
Johann Strauss, Jr.: Melodies Quadrille, op.112
Giuseppe Verdi: Prestissimo from the Ballet Music in Act III of the Opera “Don Carlo”
Johann Strauss, Jr.: Where the Lemon Trees Bloom, Waltz, op. 364
Johann Strauss, Sr.: Memories of Ernst or The Carnival of Venice, Fantasy, op. 126
You will note “The Radetzky March”, which is the traditional “end piece” isn’t listed, but I can’t believe they wouldn’t play it as the whole audience participates with clapping and they WAIT for that one! 
Thanks
