At Christmas, vocal music is particularly close to us. What is it that makes this music so appealing? Is it just the memories and traditions associated with it, or do Christmas carols actually sound radically different in their basic mood? For centuries, Christmas has inspired composers to write delightful works, many of which have been forgotten or never performed.

In Switzerland, too, there are numerous compositions that capture the special sound of Advent and Christmas, but most of them lie dormant in archives. How does Advent sound in Rhaeto-Romanic, for example? How do contemporary composers deal with traditional carols? Our concerts combine musical finds from all four language regions of Switzerland with works of German Romanticism.

The Christmas concerts are intended to expand the usual repertoire and provide a different perspective on Swiss music. So why not listen to Christmas in a different way? After all, the biscuits are baked fresh every year and enriched with new ingredients.
