Vienna Strikers: Georges Pretre Plays Soccer At 83; Barenboim Debuts Next Jan 1 At The Wiener's New Year Concert

Pretre

To p1mp a tiny bit this coming summer's European Cup of soccer that takes place in Austria & Switzerland, Maestro Pretre this morning in Vienna toyed a bit with a soccer ball under the worried eyes of a Wiener member (lol). OC's impressions of the Vienna concert telecats are in the post below. Here we'll just mention that Daniel Barenboim, Maestro Scaligero who has already had to endure three strikes from the Scala orchestra, will conduct next year's Jan 1 concert in Vienna.

We're betting the Wiener won't strike.
