Festive sounds and sustainable Advent atmosphere at the Great Orphanage
On Saturday, December 5, 2026, the historic staircase of the Great Orphanage Foundation in Potsdam will transform into an impressive concert setting. The charity concert "Klingender Advent" features musicians from the City Music School Potsdam "Johann Sebastian Bach" presenting a festive Christmas program. Admission is free, donations in support of musical educational offerings for children are welcome.
Baroque architecture meets festive sound
The baroque staircase of the Great Orphanage is the atmospheric centerpiece of the hour-long concert. The historic architecture gives the wind ensembles a special acoustic presence: festive timbres, clear intonation, and the interplay of instruments combine to create a warm musical dramaturgy. Thus, a concentrated live atmosphere is created, making the Advent spirit not only audible but also immediately experienceable.
Young musicians at the center
The musical design is carried out by various wind ensembles from the City Music School Potsdam "Johann Sebastian Bach". The focus is on playing together, precise synchronization, and a lively stage performance. The concert thus connects to the long-standing charity tradition of "Klingender Advent" and shows how musical education, community, and public engagement work together.
Music helps children in Potsdam
The proceeds from donations will benefit the JEKISS program, short for "Every Child Has a Voice." This support program enables elementary school children access to musical education and strengthens community, creativity, and learning abilities through cross-grade singing. Attending the concert thus combines a festive concert experience with concrete support for children and young people.
Sustainable Christmas market in the courtyard
Starting at 3 PM, a sustainable Christmas market invites visitors to explore in the courtyard of the Orphanage Foundation and the House of Nature. Visitors will find sustainable gift ideas, Advent arrangements, nature calendars for 2027, honey, and natural cosmetics. Hands-on activities, music, and creative activities for children complement the program. At 3:15 PM and 5:15 PM, children can make their own play dough at the Sußdorf soap factory.
An Advent afternoon for the whole family
The market runs from 3 PM to 8 PM, the charity concert begins at 4 PM and is expected to end at 5 PM. The combination of historic setting, festive wind music, sustainable market offerings, and social engagement makes the afternoon a special Potsdam experience for families, music lovers, and anyone who wants to consciously start the Advent season.
Conclusion: Experience Advent music live with impact
"Klingender Advent" offers Christmas live music in an extraordinary historic setting and simultaneously supports musical education in Potsdam. Those who want to combine festive wind sounds, unique architecture, and a sustainable Christmas market can experience a meaningful afternoon on December 5.
