The MDR Radio Choir brings together singers from 13 different countries on four continents. Each country naturally has its own musical Christmas traditions, and so the idea was born to combine a selection from this international repertoire in a chamber concert. You can look forward to a colorful program, the first part of which opens with the setting of Grimm's fairy tale Hansel and Gretel, which is closely associated with the Christmas season in Germany.
