Every year, Müpa Budapest’s annual Advent concert offers a moment of contemplation and helps to evoke the holiday spirit amid the busy period of festive preparation in the run-up to Christmas. The soloist for this year’s concert is the world-renowned German-British baritone, Benjamin Appl. In addition to recalling his performances at the traditional New Year’s concert, audiences may also be familiar with his velvety smooth voice from the Kurtág100 Festival and the Bartók Spring programmes. He recently dedicated a complete album to Christmas songs and it is from this collection that he will perform popular numbers, while the two collaborating ensembles, the Lautitia family of choirs from Debrecen, led by József Nemes, and the Anima Musicae Chamber Orchestra, under the artistic direction of László G. Horváth, will also take the stage with their own productions on this evening promising plenty of colour and variety.
