Christian Steyer & The Berlin Soloists' Choir
The *Dresdner Neueste Nachrichten* ran the headline: “Christian Steyer manages to get people to sing in a way they themselves would hardly have thought possible”; the *Sächsische Zeitung* wrote “Surprise and goosebumps”; and the *TAZ* concluded with “Unique on the German music scene.” Founded by actor, composer, and narrator Christian Steyer, his ensemble, Der Berliner Solistenchor, is celebrating its 26th concert season with seven performances.

While exploring old Christmas carols, Steyer noticed how often they are reduced to kitsch and trivialized, so he decided to counter these clichés with something of his own.
Through a highly personal arrangement of the songs, Christian Steyer sought to bring out their immense musical and thematic potential and create a full-length song cycle to be performed by an extraordinary choir that transcends the classical framework.
In the songs he selected for the concert cycle *Old Christmas Carols, New*, he sees a connection to our lives, but also to myths rooted in many cultures. “These songs convey a universal principle of life: that through a not-so-pleasant experience, one can emerge from darkness into light and discover something unexpected.”
By carefully incorporating elements from various genres, he has transformed well-known Christmas carols into a sonic marvel for choir and piano. It’s a welcome change from the usual jingle-jangle of the Advent season and a delight for lovers of both modern and classical music alike. Anyone who hears him perform with his ensemble can feel it: the pulsating energy of old German Christmas carols.
The applause and reviews speak for themselves. For many concertgoers, Christmas begins with the Berlin Soloists’ Choir.
Christian Steyer manages to inspire people to sing in a way they themselves would hardly have thought possible.
