Swinging Christmas

The ensemble German Brass consists of ten brass players, each of them superb soloists from orchestras like the Berlin Philharmonic or the Hamburg Philharmonic State Orchestra. The times when pioneering spirit was required to even establish this musical genre belong to the past: German Brass has long since made music for brass band socially acceptable. At their Christmas concert in the Laeiszhalle Grand Hall, they present pieces by Bach, Handel, Vivaldi and Tschaikowsky, rounded off by familiar swinging seasonal songs.
