Christmas Around the World

About this event

This pre-Christmas concert takes you on a musical journey around the globe, featuring well-known Christmas carols from various countries and a traditional excerpt from Humperdinck's fairy-tale opera *Hänsel und Gretel*. Between the musical pieces, Christoph Winkelmann reads some of the most beautiful Christmas poems, creating a warm and contemplative atmosphere. A chamber music ensemble directed by Seung-Jo Cha brings the seasonal melodies to life. The performance is an ideal way to slow down during the busy pre-Christmas period and soak up the festive spirit through familiar tunes and timeless poetry. Whether you are a fan of classical music or simply looking for a cosy evening out, the mix of orchestral sounds and spoken word offers something heart-warming.
