For this pre-Christmas concert at Dürnstein Abbey, Michael Schade invited young stars of the Austrian music scene such as the Lower Austrian mezzo-soprano Patricia Nolz and the Viennese violinist Johannes Fleischmann. In an atmospheric setting, contemplative melodies such as Schubert's "Adagio in E-flat Major" and, of course, local and international Christmas carols such as "Maria durch ein Dornwald ging" or the Canadian "Huran Carol" were heard.
