Weihnachtsoratorium / Christmas Oratorio

It’s as much a permanent fixture at Christmas time as the four candles on the Advent wreath: Johann Sebastian Bach’s Christmas Oratorio. Often heard in churches, but rarely in the concert hall, the work will now be performed for a benefit concert at the Laeiszhalle by the Hamburger Knabenchor St. Nikolai and the Symphoniker Hamburg under the baton of church music director Rosemarie Pritzkat. The concert takes place in support of the Department of Paediatrics at the University Hospital Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE).
