Baroque sound splendor in a historical setting
The Friedenskirche in the Sanssouci Park is among the most impressive locations in the city. The space combines sacred architecture with an atmosphere that bears Bach's music especially intensely. It is here that the Christmas Oratorio reveals its full brilliance: clear lines, festive choral sections, and acoustics that give every voice profile. According to the official description, the site has been part of Potsdam's cultural heritage since the 19th century and is regularly used for concerts and spiritual music.

Participate instead of just listening
This sing-along concert is aimed at everyone who wants to actively experience Baroque music rather than just listen. Participants should bring the sheet music for Cantatas IV to VI and prepare chorales and choral sections if possible. This creates a special live atmosphere between the choir, orchestra, and audience - an evening that feels like a collective musical breath.
