Advent Concert of the Knabenkantorei Basel

Description

It has now become a beautiful and much appreciated tradition: the Advent concert of the KKB, organized on the second Sunday of Advent at the Basel Cathedral. An evening for young and old: as every year, young and less young gather on stage and in the audience to celebrate and welcome the Christmas season. The students (conducted by Damaris Nussbaumer) open the evening, followed by the concert choir, reinforced by former members, performing the wonderful works of the Leipzig master: the first cantata of the Christmas Oratorio, the Advent cantata BWV 61, and the final chorale of cantata 147. The evening concludes with a collective singing of “O du fröhliche”. Under the overall direction of Oliver Rudin, former KKB singers Julian Schmidlin (alto), Jonathan Bötticher (tenor), and Tobias Wicky (bass) will perform, accompanied, as usual, by the Baroque orchestra Capriccio Basel.
