| Summary |
Christmas in the Erzgebirge region is one of Saxony's most treasured traditions. Its unique celebrations include numerous customs focusing on music. The Renaissance town of Marienberg is at the very heart of the historic Erzgebirge: It forms the setting for a concert of classical and seasonal works with Germany's prestigious Sächsische Bläserphilharmonie; an exquisite ensemble of wind instruments, pairing up with Germany's leading youth choir, the Rundfunk-Jugendchor Wernigerode, as well as prominent soprano Ruth Ziesak. |
