3. THE SNOWMAN A musical winter fairytale Youth Concert
The short film "The Snowman", based on the children's book of the same name by Raymond Briggs, is one of the British Christmas classics par excellence - a not insignificant part of the magical effect of this film is the music by Howard Blake, which, with the exception of a spoken introduction, takes over the entire acoustic design of the film. Blake composed a light-footed orchestral score, which, in addition to tender and voluptuous sounds, is also enriched with bossa nova sounds, a gigue of the dancing snowmen and a powerful march for the massive snowman. The little boy James builds a snowman that comes to life at night. Together with James, the snowman first explores the parents' house of its creator, before a subsequent joyride on a motorbike culminates in a flight over the city with hundreds of snowmen. After landing safely, the snowman leads James into a forest that turns out to be the home of Santa Claus. After a lavish party with the snowmen, James receives his present: a scarf. As the morning is already dawning, the snowman and his little friend head back home. James says goodbye to his big friend and slips into bed. During the day, the snowman has melted, but the scarf remains as a reminder of this eventful journey for the boy.

4. THREE HAZELNUTS FOR CINDERELLA Family Concert
For several generations, the Czech cult film “Three Hazelnuts for Cinderella” from 1973 is as much a part of Christmas as candlelight and the scent of fresh pine needles. This year, too, a special wish will come true for the holidays, because the fairy tale can be experienced again in brilliant cinema format. Also included: the music of Karel Svoboda, played live by the Thuringia Philharmonic Gotha-Eisenach and synchronized scene by scene with the romantic and funny adventures on the big screen
