CANCELLED: Ensemble Resonanz / Christmas Oratorio
Replacement concerts take place on 17 December 2020 at the Laeiszhalle Grand Hall
Christmas oratorio done differently
Concerts at the Elbphilharmonie and Laeiszhalle are currently subject to coronavirus-related restrictions. This event is therefore going ahead with an amended programme and reduced seating capacity. There will be two concerts on 17 December 2020 at 18:30 and 21:00 at the Laeiszhalle Grand Hall – Go to replacement concerts
Why would an ensemble that made its name performing rarities from early and contemporary music then turn to the most successful oratorio of the Baroque? Ensemble Resonanz would presumably answer, »Christmas without the Christmas Oratorio is only half the story. As often as you may have heard or played the piece, you still want to hear or play it again.«
The ensemble has been performing its own version of Bach’s Christmas classic for five years now – pared down and with unconventional instrumentation, a little like a concert at home for friends. The concert hall becomes a sitting room, the musicians become a choir, and the work becomes chamber music with Baroque violas, electric guitar and vintage keyboards.
