When the first candle burns on the Advent wreath and bright fairy lights begin to shine in the windows, when the calendar doors are opened one by one and the kitchen smells of cinnamon stars, gingerbread and almond cookies - then it's Advent. And of course, it's also the familiar Christmas melodies that get us in the mood for the festive season. That's why the MDR Children's Choir goes on tour with concerts in the run-up to Christmas. For many years now, it has been a tradition for the MDR children's choir to awaken the anticipation of Christmas in the broadcasting area with cheerful, contemplative songs for the festive season.
