The Advent season is filled with special moments—music that touches the heart and stirs anticipation for Christmas. The Neustrelitz Concert Choir invites you to the Rechlin-Nord Church on Saturday, December 12, 2026, at 6 p.m.
Under the direction of Benjamin Arlt-Bouffee, attendees can look forward to a festive program featuring Baroque masterpieces, traditional Advent and Christmas carols, and modern compositions. The highlight will be Antonio Vivaldi’s famous “Gloria” (RV 589), a radiant work for choir, strings, trumpet, organ, and soloists. Singers from the concert choir will perform the solo parts.
Together with the Strelitz String Ensemble under the direction of Wolfgang Erben, pianist Rico Gatzke, and trumpeter Kerstin Erben, the choir will present a varied concert. In addition to German Advent and Christmas carols, the program features Gustav Holst’s “In the Bleak Midwinter,” works by Eric Whitacre, and the atmospheric film score from “Home Alone” by John Williams.
The program combines festive and contemplative choral music with modern sounds. In addition to the choir, the concert choir’s vocal ensemble and the string orchestra will also perform.
Admission is free. Donations to support the musical work of the performers are warmly welcome.
Let the festive sounds and the special atmosphere of the church get you in the Christmas spirit, and enjoy an atmospheric Advent evening.
