About the Concert

After the premiere in the Berlin Cathedral last year, which was enthusiastically celebrated by the audience, Sebastian Koch will now go on a Christmas tour through Germany with the fabulous Christmas reading "Und lauscht hinaus den weißen Wegen". Sebastian Koch will lead the audience into the Christmas season with contemplation and musical accompaniment. The actor will read the various texts, Christmas letters and wish lists from Rilke to Eichendorff in a humorous, touching and empathetic way with his unique voice; it is a selection of his favourite Christmas stories.   
He is musically accompanied by choirs or musicians who are well-known in the regional venues.
