The award-winning Berlin Chamber Soloists invite you to the Laeiszhalle Hamburg for a festive Christmas concert. They will perform selected Christmas pieces from European classical music from the Baroque to the Romantic period. The chamber orchestra »Kammersolisten Berlin« was founded in April 2015. The members of this ensemble have known each other for many years and have performed together in a wide variety of formations around the world. Individually, each member is either an outstanding soloist, chamber musician or orchestral musician from one of Berlin’s various major orchestras (Konzerthaus Berlin, Deutsche Oper Berlin, Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin, etc.). The friends and musicians play freely, drive each other to peak performances and thus arouse enthusiasm and emotions in the audience. The international line-up provides an unrivalled diversity of ideas, with a repertoire that includes works from the baroque, classical, romantic and modern eras.
The festive concerti by Italian composers Locatelli, Manfredini, and Torelli, alongside Albinoni's delicate Adagio, are Christmas staples not only in Italy but also in Austria. Michael Haydn composed over thirty masses, including the Missa Sancti Aloysii and the Missa Sancti Leopoldi. Tomás Luis de Victoria's motet and Zoltán Kodály's "The Angels and the Shepherds" complete the program. Cellist Manuel Fischer-Dieskau's new composition, "He Who Sits on the Throne Laughs," is dedicated to Franz Xaver Ohnesorg.
