It has become a tradition for the Hungarian Radio Children’s Choir to perform in almost every possible formation in the Advent period. This Advent concert gives the audience a truly colourful insight into the many activities the Children’s Choir carry out in their everyday school life. The time of Advent with its anticipation and Christmas itself have played a prominent role in the music of Christianity. Over the centuries, the birth of the Saviour Jesus Christ has become the most richly and colourfully celebrated sacred event in the traditions of the various Christian churches, in folk traditions and in art. What makes the musical repertoire of these celebrations particularly exciting is that Christmas has always been capable of harmoniously uniting religious, naïve folk and high artistic forms of expression.

The concert will feature not only a heart-warming folk nativity scene by the Palánták Choir, but will also offer the audience a glimpse into the active musical life of this children’s choir. The event will provide the audience with an insight into the joy of singing charming Christmas motets in the accompaniment of chamber groups. The concert will likewise show how exhilarating it is to listen to songs performed by the junior mixed choir that features velvety voices of enthusiastic girls and recently broken voices of boys. Last but not least, the Choir’s accomplished instrumental soloists will also demonstrate their musical talents.
