Undoubtedly the highlight of the season, our Classical Christmas concert is an essential part of the holiday preparation for both our orchestra and our audience. This year, we return to the core of Christmas: alongside our traditional carol arrangements, previously released on album. We bring you the festive spirit of Frank Sinatra\’s holiday tunes and the snowy atmosphere of All I Want for Christmas. These will be accompanied by beloved classical masterpieces such as the Hallelujah Chorus and the Pomp and Circumstance March. The evening\’s conductor and storyteller, Máté Hámori, will guide us through the busy December rush to find the true light of the holidays.

Duration: approx. 135 minutes, including 1 intermission.
