With “Christmas in Lucerne,” the audience can look forward to a musical Christmas experience of exceptional quality that has long since become an integral part of the Advent season.
The concert combines the powerful sonority of a large wind ensemble with festive choral works to create a distinctive auditory experience. In an atmosphere that is both solemn and focused, a moving program unfolds, carried by high musical precision and deep emotion. An international ensemble of first-class musicians, a renowned professional choir, and selected vocal soloists lend the evening special expressiveness. Between the musical highlights, narrative contributions by Sky du Mont create special moments. Christmas stories, verses, and personal reflections foster a sense of closeness, touch the heart, and enrich the evening in a memorable way.
