About the concert

The magic of Christmas with Mathias Hammer There is something quite special about December, when the lights are dimmed, expectations tingle, and the music is allowed to open the door to the fairy tale. In this atmospheric Christmas concert, Aalborg Symfoniorkester invites you into the enchanting universe of The Nutcracker - one of Christmas's most beloved musical stories. With Mathias Hammer as a lively and engaging compère, the audience is led through the story as the music unfolds: How can you hear that the Sugar Plum Fairy is dancing? What makes Tchaikovsky's orchestra so special? And why has this particular music become an inevitable part of Christmas all over the world? Tchaikovsky's wonderful music is full of magic, and an experience awaits in which story and music go hand in hand - a concert full of Christmas spirit, smiles and musical wonder.
