Christmas and animals: eight composers were inspired to compose new works based on this theme. The texts used range from the classic shepherd story taking place in the field at night to a text by Friederike Mayröcker. Musical fun or listening to nature? A concert that promises to be full of surprises. Director René Zisterer conceived the dramaturgical and staging narrative for the traditional Christmas concert by Ensemble Wiener Collage, which is now in its tenth year.
