About the Concert

Silent night, as if! Although this concert is also contemplative, our concert hall is by no means silent when the Dresden Chamber Choir and its director Hans-Christoph Rademann invite you to enjoy Advent music. The programme includes well-known carols such as "Es ist ein Ros entsprungen" and "Kommet ihr Hirten", as well as a wonderful Magnificat by Arvo Pärt and Christmas-inspired works by Johannes Brahms and Heinrich Schütz.
