What would the Advent season be without Johann Sebastian Bach's music, especially the Weihnachts-Oratorium (Christmas Oratorio) that all the musicians in Germany simply call ‘WO’? The Konzerthausorchester Berlin, the traditional boys' choir of the Leipzig Thomaner - founded in 1212 and thus one of the oldest choirs of all - and renowned soloists fill the Great Hall with the familiar sounds and festive atmosphere.

The Thomanerchor Leipzig looks back on over 800 years of history. Composers from all eras have written works for the famous choir. The motets by Johann Sebastian Bach, the most famous St Thomas’ cantor, are part of the choir’s core repertoire. In this concert, the choir presents a musical cross-section of all eras, with works by Johann Sebastian Bach, Samuel Scheidt, Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy and contemporary motets by Ivo Antognini, Ko Matsushitas and John Rutter.
The performance of Antonio Vivaldi’s most famous work, »The Four Seasons«, is a fascinating multimedia experience for the whole family. The piece is performed by the Leipzig Philharmonic Orchestra, while breathtaking aerial images from »Germany from Above« are shown on a large screen. This presentation is perfectly coordinated and represents a completely new kind of presentation. From the Zugspitze to the Wadden Sea, viewers can experience the seasons from a bird’s eye view: spring with blooming landscapes, summer over the North Sea with its beaches and islands, autumn with the colourfulness of the forests and winter with the tranquillity of snow-covered mountain peaks and cities. The experience is complemented by the performance of soloist Holger Engelhardt and the accompaniment of the fantastic musicians of the Leipzig Philharmonic Orchestra. It is a musical and visual synthesis of the arts that has never before been experienced in this form.

The motets by Johann Sebastian Bach, the most famous St Thomas‘ cantor in its long history, are just as much a part of the core repertoire of the Thomanerchor as many choral works by other St Thomas’ cantors. In this concert, the choir presents a cross-section of choral music from all eras, with works by Johann Sebastian Bach, Samuel Scheidt, Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy and contemporary motets by Ivo Antognini, Ko Matsushitas and John Rutter, among others.
