Christmas Oratorio in a Nutshell

Der Chor der Hochschule für Musik „Hanns Eisler“ Berlin mit dem Chor und Symphonieorchester der Hochschule München, Mai 2026 – Der Chor der Hochschule für Musik „Hanns Eisler“ Berlin mit dem Chor und Symphonieorchester der Hochschule München im Mai 2026

Johann Sebastian Bach revisited
String players, saxophonists, singers and a choral workshop bring the work to the Nikolaikirche with a fresh sound.
What does Bach’s Christmas Oratorio sound like with string instruments and saxophones? Find out at the Nikolaikirche! The Hanns Eisler Academy of Music Berlin, in collaboration with the Berlin Museum, invites you to a special concert experience.
Students from the university will perform selected pieces from the Christmas Oratorio. Choir conductors, singers and a ‘Choir Lab’ ensemble will bring the music to life on stage with fresh timbres.
Under the baton of Jonas Kraft, a vibrant interpretation will emerge that offers a new way of hearing familiar works. The concert also marks the renewed collaboration between the Hanns Eisler Academy of Music Berlin and the Berlin Museum.
