Thursday on Classical MPR, you'll hear the Vienna Philharmonic ring in the New Year with a performance of Viennese waltzes.
On this week's Learning to Listen, get a taste of the waltz, and hear some of the best from the Strauss family.

Don't forget to listen Thursday, Jan. 1, 2015, at 10 a.m., for New Year's Day in Vienna on Classical MPR!
