Munich Symphony Orchestra: A Musical Sleigh RideOlivier Tardy (conductor)
This event is in the past.
Gingerbread and Christmas pudding, a landscape dressed in white, snowball fights and snowmen, the sound of skates gliding across a frozen lake: Some things will forever remain associated with the festive time of year. The same goes for the wealth of wonderful works that celebrate the joys of winter, awaken the spirit of Christmas and elicit fond memories of childhood. This Advent season, the Munich Symphony Orchestra embarks on a seasonal sleigh ride that takes in a wealth of times and places.
