It brings together pieces from several centuries, various regions, and different stylistic traditions. The result is a concert exploring the contrasts that define this time of year: silence and sound, darkness and light, tradition and the present. The “HXOS Chor Berlin,” a mixed chamber choir conducted by Stelios Chatziktoris, will perform. The program features works by Johann Sebastian Bach, Johannes Eccard, Gustav Mahler, Sergei Vasilyevich Rachmaninoff, Morten Lauridsen, Ola Gjeilo, and Daniel Elder. ## Three concerts for the price of two With our ‘3 for 2’ offer, you can choose three concerts from the programme accompanying the [Chorus](https://www.berlin.museum/en/exhibition/chorus) exhibition and pay for just two tickets. The musical line-up ranges from rap to oratorio, from soundscapes to orchestral music, from experimental sounds to catchy tunes. Secure your free concert now! Simply visit our [ticket shop](https://www.berlin.museum/?gomus-shop=open#/product/event/1050) and add your chosen concerts to your basket.
