Michael Sens: Liebestraum unterm Tannenbaum

COLOGNE PREMIERE

"Liebestraum unterm Tannenbaum" (Dream of Love under the Christmas Tree)

When one thinks of Christmas, familiar melodies immediately flow through one's mind. The musical decoration of the feast has a long tradition in our cultural circle. In his Christmas program, Michael Sens looks at the world of the contemplative time before the turn of the year from the perspective of classical composers and their works.
What would "Oh Tannenbaum" have sounded like if it had been composed by Chopin? Or what would the virtuoso Franz Liszt have made of it?
But pressing questions of modern times are also put on the humorous tablet. What is an optimal Christmas present? Why does a family Christmas escalate and if not, why?
In any case, a musical program in which humor and music are at the center.
