1| New Year's Day Concert in Košice
One of the most exciting events happening on the very first day of each year are New Year’s Day concerts filled with classical music. The State Philharmonic will take its audience on a two-hour classical music journey, conducted by Zbyněk Müller. Pieces of music written by Antonín Dvořák, Bedřich Smetana, Johann Straus, and Julius Fučík, to name a few, will fill a Košice concert hall.
