Don't be happy too late is the inversion of the well-known motto. Or as a classic: "Always look on the bright side of life". The motto comes from the comedy troupe Monty Python and is still apt. Children and fools are in a good mood and they tell the truth. They dare to do things that are not otherwise appropriate: to be blunt and direct, to hold up a mirror to others, to look at themselves in it, not to take themselves too seriously and to infect others with their anarchic cheerfulness. Sometimes fools also fib. Never mind. When you laugh, you recognize a truth that you would otherwise only suspect through deep thought. A New Year's concert about fools and comedians in music.

Ravel’s famous Pavane will be followed by Leroy Anderson’s ever-popular Blue Tango. Familiar selections from the ballet The Nutcracker Suite will also be performed, followed by Symphonic Dance #3 by Clifton Williams, depicting the pageantry of a Latin American celebration with street bands, bullfights, and, of course, exuberant dancing. As a tribute to swing dancing, which swept across the United States from 1935 until the mid-1940s, the band will conclude with Benny Goodman: The King of Swing.
