Content

pure Christmas harmony

The moment the horns strike up the Evening Prayer, joy fills the hearts of all the children in the audience - the young and the not so young. The main piece in the 2024 Christmas concert is a great suite from Humperdinck’s immortal fairy-tale opera (originally planned for December 2020), with Italian conductor Vanessa Benelli Mosell and German Christoph Bielefeld on solo harp. Together they also transform Reinecke’s Harp Concerto into pure Christmas harmony.

Programme

Carl Reinecke: Concerto for Harp and Orchestra in E Minor
Engelbert Humperdinck: Suite from "Hänsel and Gretel"
