Durch sechs Jahrhunderte und viele Regionen führte das prunkvolle weihnachtliche Chor- und Orgelkonzert in der Westminster Abbey.

Die Göteborger Symphoniker gaben mit dem Symphonischen Chor ein besinnliches Konzert für die Adventzeit.

For this Christmas concert we were transported from the Auckland Philharmonia’s usual venue at the Auckland Town Hall to the Holy Trinity Cathedral in Parnell. It was interesting to compare the sound of the orchestra; the cathedral has a slight echo that seemed to boost the richness of the orchestra’s sound, at times (like at the climax of Bizet’s Farandole) becoming almost shockingly loud.

We trudged through the snow to Kings Place, full of anticipation for an evening of beautiful music and festive cheer. The Barts Chamber Choir, conducted by Ivor Setterfield provided this, with a wonderful program from traditional audience carols to lesser known pieces by Berlioz, Howells and Vaughan Williams.
