A Christmas Encore: Kathy Kelly at Wittenberg Town Church
Looking for a touch of holiday magic? The enchanting Kathy Kelly will be performing a Christmas concert at the Wittenberg Town Church on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. While the calendar may say January, Kelly’s performance promises a warm and welcoming atmosphere, featuring both classic carols like “Silent Night” and “The Snow Is Quietly Falling,” alongside modern interpretations such as “Last Christmas” and Boney M’s “Mary Boy Child.” Tickets are available at the MZ media point and Super-Sonntag in Wittenberg (Jüdenstraße 28).
“Destinies” Unfold: Halle Academic Orchestra at Leucorea Musica
For a more contemplative experience, the Halle Academic Orchestra will grace the Wittenberg Town Hall on Sunday at 4:30 p.m. as part of the “Leucorea musica” series. Their concert, titled “Destinies,” centers around Dmitri Shostakovich’s powerful 5th Symphony, a work deeply influenced by the tumultuous era of Stalinist Terror. The program also features the delicate beauty of orchestral songs by Richard Strauss, sung by Dresden soprano Marie Hänsel, and an overture by Ukrainian composer Mykola Lysenko. This concert isn’t just a performance; it’s a journey through history and emotion. Tickets (€14/€8 reduced) can be purchased at the tourist information office or at the box office one hour before the concert.
