Info

The Advent concert by the Wiener Symphoniker has already become a popular pre-Christmas highlight: music and contemplation in Vienna's landmark. This year's program in the atmospheric St. Stephen's Cathedral will once again take you through the different Christmas cultures of various countries and continents. In addition to the French L'Arlésienne Suite by Georges Bizet, parts of Mozart's Trinity Mass, popular melodies from Engelbert Humperdinck's fairytale opera Hansel and Gretel, a cantata from Felix Mendelsohn Bartholdy's “Lobgesang”, a song by Keith Chapman and the Christmas classic Somewhere in my Memory from the soundtrack Kevin - Alone at Home by John Williams will be performed. The crowning finale - as every year - is the Christmas carol O du fröhliche.

The Wiener Symphoniker will be conducted by French conductor Stéphane Denève for this concert. The soloists are the Italian soprano Rosa Feola and the American mezzo-soprano Kate Lindsey. The Wiener Symponiker's Advent concert offers contemplation and contemplation in the run-up to Christmas in Vienna.
