Musikalischer Salon – Bach – Ein Weihnachtswunder

Dr. Christiane Hausmann in conversation with Dr. Mar Alonso

"Bach - A Christmas Miracle" - A fact check. The feature film broadcast by ARD at the end of 2024 about the last days before the premiere of Bach's Christmas Oratorio has attracted a lot of attention. A production that recreates the working and living conditions of the Leipzig Thomaskantor in 1734.

Have you also asked yourself: "Was it really the case that...?" Then come to the Advent Salon and test your intuition!
