The Hungarian Radio Children's Choir's Christmas concert starts with a wonderful arrangement of an old Estonian folk song and closes with the universal music of Bach. The varied programme not only spans centuries and different styles, it also embraces distant lands. In addition to Spanish, Bulgarian and English composers, the concert will also feature arrangements by the legendary African-American chorus leader and composer Moses George Hogan. The Children's Choir will perform the works by Bach jointly with the Hungarian Radio Symphony Orchestra and Choir.
