For many years “Christmas in Vienna” has been a fixed star in the round of Viennese Advent concerts, and 2014 again combines a balance of the well-known and the less well-known, classical and popular, expansive music with intimate settings and religious and secular music. The highly coveted soloists are Natalia Ushakova, Vesselina Kasarova and Artur Rucinski and together form this year’s highlights. The program arrangement runs the gamut from “Festive Christmas” to “International Christmas” to “Popular Christmas”.
Note: Due to licensing reasons this concert is unfortunately not available in Germany and Switzerland.
