Happy New Year

A glorious hangover, launched by a fantastic New Year’s Eve party, or simply a splendid start into 2008 enriched by inspiring concerts: Whichever you prefer, there are magnificent offers throughout the city on the last night of the year:
Das Schloss presents an a la carte menu and high quality entertainment. Cabaret and jazz will be performed by Munich favorites Faltsch Wagoni and Joseph von Westphalen. A fortune teller, fireworks and delightful surprises (such as no entrance fee!) promise an exciting night. The event tent Das Schloss (www.dasschloss.com) is located at Schwere-Reiter-Str. 15. Despite free admission, reservation is required. Call 14 34 080 to get on the list for the event which starts at 7 pm.
A juicy mixture of dub, reggae and ethnic electronics is scheduled at the Muffatwerk on the last night of 2007. Live concerts by Jahcoustix, Dubios Neighboorhood and Jamaram will alternate with the turntable sounds of Shantel, DJ Explizit and the Budadub Soundsystem. For a full schedule of performances, see www.muffatwerk.de. Tickets cost € 20.
On the other end of the musical spectrum, Heilig Geist Church at Prälat-Miller-Weg 2 next to the Viktualienmarkt will host a midnight concert at 11 pm to herald the 850-year celebration of the founding of the city of Munich. St. Matthäus Church will let 2007 fade out with a meditative organ concert by Christoph Adt. The concert starts at 11:15 pm.
For those yet undecided as to whether partying or listening effects the perfect exit from the old year, but need a definite location in advance, the Bayerische Hof is the place to go. At several venues throughout the hotel, classical music concerts, jazz sessions and parties featuring rock and pop will be on offer. Whether you choose to book the Silvester-gala at the Königssaal (€ 180) with a candlelit dinner and classical salon music, or settle on the Piano Bar’s buffet (€ 170) with funk played by Rad Pack, all guests are invited to party hop throughout all of the Bayerische Hof’s New Year’s events. For a detailed list of the hotel’s offerings, visit www.bayerischerhof.de. Tickets are also available at all VVK outlets. <<<
