Chamber Music Concert: Tis Christmas

Experience well-known and lesser-known pieces such as ‘The First Nowell’, ‘The Holly and the Ivy’ and the cheerful ‘Gloucestershire Wassail’. But rarely performed works such as ‘Sweet Baby, Sleep’ by George Wither and the melodies of Irish harpist Turlough O'Carolan also bring the winter atmosphere to life. The ensemble under the direction of Nikolaus Newerkla interweaves Celtic, English and Irish traditions and takes you on a musical journey through the Graz region.

You can look forward to a programme that ranges from lyrical ballads to rousing jigs and reels. After a short break, the programme continues with well-known classics such as ‘Good King Wenceslas’ and rhythmic jigs such as ‘Christmas Eve’, which invite you to swing along. Quadriga Consort uses traditional instruments such as the Irish flute and old stringed instruments to create an unrivalled sound that is both nostalgic and lively.

Let yourself be carried away by the melodies and experience the Christmas season in a new dimension. This concert is a perfect way to get in the mood for the festive season and a must for anyone who appreciates British Christmas carols and authentic folk music. Visit the concert in the Graz Experience Region and feel the magic of Christmas in an extraordinary way in Styria.

Tickets can be booked online.
