Adventskonzert der Knabenkantorei Basel
A tradition on the second Sunday of Advent: the KKB’s Advent concert at Basel Cathedral. The course participants, concert choir, and alumni perform Bach, accompanied by Capriccio Basel under the direction of Oliver Rudin. The concert concludes with “O du fröhliche.”
It has now become a lovely and popular tradition: the KKB’s Advent concert on the second Sunday of Advent at Basel Cathedral. An evening for young and old alike; just like every year, people of all ages come together on stage and in the audience to celebrate and welcome the Christmas season.
The courses (under the direction of Damaris Nussbaumer) kick off the program, then the concert choir, joined by alumni, performs the wonderful works of the Leipzig master: the first cantata from the Christmas Oratorio, the Advent Cantata BWV 61, and the closing chorale from Cantata 147. The evening concludes with a joint performance of “O du fröhliche.”
Under the overall direction of Oliver Rudin, former KKB singers Julian Schmidlin (alto), Jonathan Bötticher (tenor), and Tobias Wicky (bass) will perform, accompanied in their usual style by the Baroque orchestra Capriccio Basel.
