The most beautiful Christmas music
Christmas at the Nieuwe Kerk
Experience the magic of Christmas with the Residentie Orkest in the enchanting ambiance of the Nieuwe Kerk. This year we invite you to celebrate the holidays with us at our Christmas concert. Let yourself be carried away by the rich sounds of our dynamic brass ensemble, which brings the phenomenal acoustics of the church fully to life. Together we celebrate this special time of year, filling our hearts with the sounds of Christmas.
The program features classic carols and world-famous carols, carefully chosen to get you in the festive spirit. Each piece of music, from intimate melodies to grand harmonies, exudes the atmosphere of togetherness and joy. The virtuosity and warmth are enhanced by soprano Kristina Bitenc - known for her warm and crystal clear voice.
