Budapest, Ljubljana, Stockholm, Cologne, Arnstadt and Munich
Andrew McGregor is our guide for the rest of this day of Christmas Around Europe, featuring concerts from Budapest, Ljubljana, Stockholm, Cologne, Arnstadt and Munich.
Andrew McGregor continues the day-long festival of Christmas and singing from across Europe and Canada in the European Broadcasting Union鈥檚 annual Christmas music day. In a year where singing in choirs has largely been curtailed due to the global pandemic, choirs and orchestras come together in socially distant performances of music that celebrates the joy of singing and the wonder of Christmas.
