Every year the Staatskapelle Dresden and public broadcaster ZDF invite you to Dresden’s Frauenkirche (Church of Our Lady) to hear festive sounds in the run-up to Christmas, when the spirit of Advent brings hope of peace and understanding. Moments of reflection, the pleasure of candlelight as well as the promise of good things foster an atmosphere of reconciliation and a longing for comfort and safety. Joined by renowned guest artists, the Staats­kapelle will perform for its Dresden fans as well as ZDF viewers at home.
