Christmas on the Lower Rhine: A Musical-Poetic Advent Evening in Hamborn

As the days grow shorter and the anticipation for Christmas increases, the Friedenskirche Hamborn transforms into an atmospheric concert hall on Sunday, December 13, 2026. During the advent concert evening Christmas on the Lower Rhine, four friends intertwine music, texts, images, and regional stories to create a unique concert experience.

Between Christmas Songs, Stories, and Winter Images

Christian Behrens shapes texts, images, and singing, while Thomas Hunsmann creates the musical framework with composition and piano. Karin Jochums adds the warm, expressive sound of the cello, and Volker Kuinke enhances the soundscape with his flutes. Together, a finely tuned orchestration of voice, instrumental music, and poetic narration emerges.

The program features well-known Christmas songs and texts as well as lovingly crafted pieces from the Little Worlds on the Lower Rhine. The contributions alternate between a humorous glance at recurring Christmas rituals, touching contemplation, and festive instrumental music. The winter music sets particular sonic accents, while the song It is Christmas Eve strikes bittersweet and reconciliatory tones.

Live Atmosphere with Music, Visuals, and Words

The Friedenskirche will become a stage for an atmospheric performance in which sound and projection play closely together. Beautiful winter images from the Little Worlds on the Lower Rhine accompany the music and stories on the screen. This creates a sensory connection of light, imagery, acoustics, and audience mood.

The program appeals to both lovers of classical chamber music and those looking for a poetic and humorous approach to the Advent season. Between cello, flutes, piano, and singing, a varied sound unfolds that connects festive serenity, fine irony, and storytelling joy from the Lower Rhine.
