Part 1
The annual celebration of Christmas from all around Europe, with music from Hanover, Amsterdam, Stockholm and Stuttgart. Presented by Sarah Walker.
A day-long festival of Christmas music and singing from across Europe and Canada in the European Broadcasting Union鈥檚 annual Christmas music day. Choirs and ensembles come together to celebrate the wonder of Christmas. First we travel to Hanover with the NDR Radio Philharmonic; then to Amsterdam with the choir of St John鈥檚 College, Cambridge, and then from Stockholm we hear Musica Temprana perform music from the Iberian Peninsula, and from Stuttgart, a Christmas concert given by the SWR Vocal Ensemble.
