The 16. Dresdner Neujahrssingen takes place on 2027-01-09 at the atmospheric Alter Schlachthof in Dresden and promises an uplifting start to the year with a program that blends beloved New Year melodies, choral masterworks and lighter ensemble pieces.

The concert atmosphere is festive yet intimate, inviting longtime attendees and newcomers alike to join in song, toast the new year and enjoy the unique acoustics of the venue.
