Christmas concerts - André Fischer with the Zurich Concert Choir
Christmas sounds with contemporary and traditional Christmas works
The traditional Christmas concerts with the Zurich Concert Choir have been an integral part of the seasonal programme in the run-up to Christmas since the 1960s. Conductor and choirmaster André Fischer chose classical works for this year's concerts in the Fraumünster, but also popular songs such as The Rose by Amanda McBroom, which atmospherically deal with the human longing for contemplation and inner love. Special attention is paid to one of Johann Sebastian Bach's last church cantatas, Freue Dich, erlöste Schar, which is still extremely popular today. Its exceptional length (twelve movements) enabled Bach to use four vocal soloists who, together with instrumental soloists, choir and orchestra, contribute to the work's festive, joyful sound.
