Candlelight: Christmas film music
Two Candlelight concerts will sweeten the Christmas season in Berlin this year!

Played by a string quartet, you can expect well-known theme songs such as “Let it go” or the classic “Jingle Bell Rock”. Don’t miss it, it sounds exciting! You can order tickets here.
Candlelight: Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker & more
There is a second Candlelight date, also at the Schlosstheater im Neuen Palais, on December 28. Once again, you will have the opportunity to experience the lyrical beauty of Tchaikovsky’s “Nutcracker” in a unique way! But pieces such as “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy” and Debussy’s “The Snow Dances” will also resound in heavenly tones at this concert. An excellent string quartet, a sea of candles and festive decorations in an enchanting location – Candlelight wants to give you an unforgettable Christmas! You can find tickets here.
Swinging Christmas
Not all Christmas concerts in Berlin are so classical, however! If you prefer modern sounds, you’re sure to get your money’s worth at Swinging Jazz. Here, a jazz band led by Chris Hopkins – one of the most successful jazz artists internationally – will entertain you with cheerful, Christmassy sounds. This event takes place on December 14 at the Schlosspark Theater. Tickets are available here.
