On St. Nicholas Day, we invite you and your family to round off this special day for children together with the MDR Children's Choir. The programme reaches well beyond Germany's borders, drawing on compositions from across the globe - wherever Christmas is celebrated, composers have set local traditions to music. The concert delivers its joyful message in colourful, multilingual fashion, with some carols appearing in surprising new arrangements.
