What puts us in the Advent mood besides candlelight and the scent of roasted apples? Angelic voices of a choir, harp sounds, and Christmas carols. All of this is linked by the British composer Benjamin Britten (1913–1976) in his choral work "A Ceremony Of Carols" op. 28. Today it is one of the most famous works of the composer and is regularly performed during the Christmas season in churches and halls. The Mädchenchor Hannover is putting this work at the center of its traditional Advent concerts at the Marktkirche this year. Together with harpist Cornelia Schott and under the direction of Prof. Andreas Felber, the concert choir will perform the 12 songs. The program is complemented by well-known and lesser-known Christmas carols, which the junior choir will present, accompanied by organist Ulfert Smidt and under the direction of Julia Wolf, along with the concert choir.
For the one-hour concert on Sunday, the Mädchenchor Hannover particularly invites families. A Christmas story will be told, which the junior choir will present in a contemplative and entertaining manner. The concert choir will also contribute to the Advent atmosphere with Christmas pieces. Musically, harpist Cornelia Schott and organist Ulfert Smidt will accompany the singers.
