Festive sounds in the baroque staircase: The Klingende Advent in Potsdam
On Saturday, December 5, 2026, the historic staircase of the Stiftung Großes Waisenhaus zu Potsdam transforms into a festive concert venue. During the charity concert „Klingende Advent“, Christmas melodies will be played from 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM by various brass ensembles from the Städtische Musikschule Potsdam "Johann Sebastian Bach".
Christmas music amidst baroque architecture
The unique acoustics of the baroque staircase give the concert a festive sound. Brass players and other ensembles from the Potsdam music school bring Christmas music into the historical setting, combining musical education with an impressive stage atmosphere. Architecture, resonance, and collective listening merge into an extraordinary Advent experience.
Music for a good cause
The Klingende Advent is designed as a charity concert. The proceeds from donations support the JEKISS program, which provides access to musical education for elementary school children. Year-round singing strengthens community and learning skills. Since its founding in 1724, the Stiftung Großes Waisenhaus zu Potsdam has been committed to young people affected by disadvantage.
Advent Market in the Potsdam Baroque Ensemble
The concert serves as the musical highlight of a sustainable Advent market in the courtyard of the Waisenhaus Foundation and in the House of Nature. From 3:00 PM to 8:00 PM, sustainable gift ideas, hands-on activities, candles, Advent arrangements, nature calendars, honey, and natural cosmetics invite exploration. Families will find creative activities, including the opportunity to make their own play dough.
A festive Advent afternoon
Visitors can expect a free concert experience with festive brass music, historical backdrop, and an engaged fundraising campaign. The audience's mood ranges from quiet listening to shared anticipation for Christmas. Anyone looking to experience Potsdam musically and consciously during Advent will find a special meeting point for the whole family.
Conclusion: The Klingende Advent connects Christmas music, social responsibility, and Potsdam’s architectural history. Experience the festive sounds live in the historic staircase and support children's musical education with your donation.
