The local Munich amateur music organization, English-Speaking Music Ensembles (ESME) e.V. is pleased to host its 3rd concert of the year, titled: “A Winter Warm-up: Carols and Classics” on Sunday, December 2nd at 4:00 p.m. in the Carl-Orff-Saal at the Gasteig cultural center. As in the past, the show promises a wide range of music, from classical to jazz to favorites of the season.
The family-friendly performance features all three of ESME’s established ensembles: Orchestra, Singers and Big Band under the direction of Daniel Stratievsky, Kristin Fehlauer and Mark Davey. The orchestra will “warm up” the stage with movements from Bizet and Mahler, to be later joined by the choir for Mozart’s Coronation Mass. The singers’ lush harmonies evoke fireside coziness, contrasting with the big band’s lively holiday rhythms. It may be cold outside, but the closing combined performance of Christmas carols should warm everyone’s heart.
