Berliner Dom, Am Lustgarten, 10178, Berlin

This December 15, you can enjoy Bach's Christmas Oratorio in one of two unique ways - either retold in a version for children aged four to nine or as a sing-along concert. And of course, you can come along to both if you really want to!

Christmas in the Berliner Dom

As the festive season gets well and truly underway in Berlin, the Berliner Dom always puts on a wide array of Christmas concerts and events. This December 15 is aimed at those who may not ordinarily attend classical music events - children and those who love to sing along!

Bach for children

  • 3pm-4pm

"Quite a long time ago a composer, someone who writes music, was so happy about the Christ Child that he wanted to tell us the story again in his music. And this music is so beautiful that it is still often played at Christmas today. The story begins in a field, at night..."

In the fresh and humorous narrative, the first three parts of the Christmas Oratorio have been shortened and particularly vivid musical examples have been incorporated, which, in addition to the story, teach the children the musical instruments and their characteristics in an unusual way. Under the great dome of the Berlin Cathedral, the Berlin Cathedral Choir sings, accompanied by the baroque orchestra Aris & Aulis, under the direction of Cathedral Cantor Adrian Büttemeier.

Sing-along Bach

  • 6pm-7.30pm

In this special performance you can actively participate in a slightly shortened version of the great Christmas Oratorio by Bach. Simply bring your sheet music with you and join the Berlin Cathedral Choir in forming a gigantic Christmas choir under the great dome of the Berlin Cathedral, accompanied by the baroque orchestra Aris & Aulis, under the direction of cathedral cantor Adrian Büttemeier. Those who want to just listen to the resulting giant choir as also very welcome!
