Eilmeldung Polka (neue Concordia Polka) von Alma Deutscher. Commissioned by
the Concordia Press Club Vienna and the Johann Strauss 2025 Wien festival.
World premiere on May 23, 2025, at the Concordia Press Ball at the Rathaus in
Vienna. Alma Deutscher conducting the Wiener Opernball Orchester. I was
honoured to be asked to write a new Polka for the Concordia Press Club,
following in the footsteps of Johann Strauss, who wrote many dances for the
Vienna Press Club. I wanted to combine Strauss' sound world with modern
elements, so I decided to write a short introduction with a mélange of
signature tunes of Austrian and international news broadcasts, and then
incorporate one of the themes in the Polka itself. I hope you enjoy it."
