Ensemble Resonanz: "Christmas Oratorio"

At the Cologne Philharmonie, the Ensemble Resonanz from Hamburg will give Bach's classic Christmas Oratorio a surprisingly modern twist. This unique performance will take place on December 10, 2025 at 20:00 and promises to captivate the audience with an intimate chamber music performance. The ensemble forgoes the traditional large choir and orchestrates the work for nine strings, guitars and vintage keyboards, creating a pared-down yet sonically rich arrangement. Four singers from the Ensemble Resonanz accompany the performance and allow Bach's music to shine in a new, urban form. Instruments such as the trumpet and strings also take on unusual roles in order to bring Bach's work to life from a fresh perspective. This artistic approach highlights the versatility and timeless relevance of Bach's compositions and appeals especially to those who want to delve deeper into the aspects of classical music and explore its modern interpretations. The performance is aimed at lovers of post-material values and promises to be an impressive event for anyone looking for more than just a conventional concert.
