This is the annual New Year's Eve tradition that has been a worldwide music event for so long, solemnly celebrating the start of the new year by sending a message of unity across the globe as the concert is broadcasted in 90 countries and around 50 million spectators can watch it at the same time. This year, the orchestra was led by Andris Nelsons, the director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra and conductor of Leipzig's Gewandhaus Orchestra. He is a talented conductor as apart from leading the orchestra, he managed, at the finale of the concert, to lead the audience attending the concert to synchronize with it by clapping  their hands.
