Christmas without music? Unthinkable! We can’t wait for the festival of joy to arrive and when at last the holidays are here, we enjoy the peace, reflecting on the world and taking pleasure in making children’s wishes come true – a very special atmosphere that is reflected in many melodies, carols and instrumental music.

In 'Christmas with Salut Salon', the four classical virtuosos from Hamburg – the two founders and violinists of the quartet Angelika Bachmann and Iris Siegfried, pianist Anne-Monika von Twardowski and cellist Sonja Lena Schmid – grant a Christmas wish and steal their listeners away on a musical journey through four centuries.
