Info for Frohe Weihnachten!
Everything sparkles and shines, delicious aromas fill the air, and in the distance, "O Christmas Tree" plays – Christmas is a feast for all the senses. While decorations and culinary preferences vary around the globe, one thing is always a perfect fit for Christmas: the radiant sound of brass instruments.
As international as the Berlin Philharmonic Brass ensemble is, so too is the repertoire of this edition: Seventeen Christmas carols, personally selected by the musicians, take you on a journey through Europe to America and Australia. Joshua Davis's arrangements – some traditional, others jazzy, and still others new and surprising – guarantee festive sounds and captivating rhythms.
Merry Christmas! is a passion project of the Berlin Philharmonic Brass ensemble and aims to bring joy to all music lovers – and to send a small message of peace and coexistence in the world.
