Swinging Christmas

Date & Time
Fri, Dec 19, 2025, 20:00
Tom Gaebel hat Stil, Stimme und Swing. Weshalb er schon lange für die einen als deutscher Frank Sinatra gilt, während die anderen ihn als Deutschlands angesagtesten Big-Band-Entertainer der alten Schule feiern. Pünktlich zur Vorweihnachtszeit lädt Tom Gaebel zusammen mit dem WDR Funkhausorchester zu seiner traditionellen Weihnachtsshow »Swinging Christmas« ein.»Für mich ist es immer wieder eine riesige Freude, dem Publikum eine Show zu präsentieren, die anders ist als das übliche Klingglöckchen-Einerlei«, so Tom Gaebel. »Eher wie Weihnachten in Las Vegas, voll...

Christmas Oratorio

Thu, Dec 19, 2024, 19:00
Konserthuset Stockholm, The Main Hall (Stockholm)
Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, Luca Guglielmi (Conductor), Maria Keohane (Soprano), Katija Dragojevic (Alto), Martin Vanberg (Tenor), Anton Ljungqvist (Bass), Eric Ericson Chamber Choir
Experience Johann Sebastian Bach's magnificent Christmas Oratorio! To the thunder of timpani and jubilant trumpets, it is proclaimed in the magnificent opening that Jesus is born.It's easy to be misled by the title Christmas Oratorio, as if it were a single work intended to be performed at one occasion, Christmas Eve. That's far from the case. In fact, the Christmas Oratorio consists of six different parts, intended to be performed at as many occasions around Christmas. Today, as in this concert, it's customary to perform the first three parts, which were first performed together at a concert in Leipzig, in the days around Christmas 1735.Delving into Bach's music is to venture into an unfathomable and fascinating musical universe. We constantly discover new things, and it never ends. Spend a few hours with Bach's Christmas Oratorio. It's a magnificent experience.The Italian baroque specialist and conductor Luca Guglielmi leads the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Eric Ericson's Chamber Choir, and the four soloists. Eric Ericson's Chamber Choir, formed in 1945, ranks among the top international professional ensembles. Since 2003, the choir has had a close collaboration with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.

Christmas Concert

Fri, Dec 20, 2024, 19:30
Filharmonia Narodowa, Concert Hall (Warszawa)
Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra, Benjamin Bayl (Conductor), Elsa Benoit (Soprano)
Elsa Benoit, photo: James Bellorini Christmas motifs have been written into numerous pages of Western classical music, and not only on the occasion of the festivities that open the carnival season. In the second movement of George Frideric Handel’s Concerto a due cori, one can easily recognise an excerpt of the joyful, punctuated rhythm of the chorus Lift up your heads from the Messiah’s second movement, which tells the story of the life, death and resurrection of Christ. Johann Sebastian Bach, fulfilling the demands of the Protestant liturgical calendar by the sweat of his brow, wrote many works for the Christmas season. In so doing, he also drew inspiration from Italian musicians, including the composer of the famous ‘Christmas Eve’ Concerto Grosso in G minor, Arcangelo Corelli. Bach’s showstopping solo cantata Jauchzet Gott in allen Landen suited a variety of festive occasions due to its universal, laudatory text. Its virtuosic coloratura parts require soprano and trumpet soloists of the highest calibre. Christmas themes can also be found in the text of the Credo. One of the most beautiful passages in Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Mass in C minor – not without reason referred to as the ‘Great’ – is the expansive, mellifluous aria ‘Et incarnatus est’ from the Credo. Mozart wrote it with his vocally gifted wife Constanze in mind, just as years before he had penned the showstopping motet ‘Exsultate, jubilate’ for the famous Italian soprano Venanzio Rauzzini.
