concert
Enjoy the wonderful music of Camille Saint-Saëns in the unique atmosphere of Einsiedeln Abbey Church and experience a contemplative atmosphere for the Christmas season.
The music of the Christmas Oratorio is imbued with a deep spirituality that reflects Saint-Saëns' typically French style with a mixture of elegance and dramatic intensity. The use of the organ as the central instrument adds an extra dimension of sonority and solemnity to the work. The 23-year-old composer wrote the oratorio within twelve days for his second Christmas as organist of the "Église de la Madeleine" in Paris.

The project choir is made up of around 60 passionate singers from the region and, together with the Einsiedeln Orchestra Association, forms an ensemble that inspires and fills the monastery church with wonderful sounds. The concert will be conducted by Lukas Meister, conductor of the monastery choir.
