Concert CHG-Bigband | Program Christkindlmarkt

Advent Groove in the Town Square: The CHG-Bigband brings swing to the Christkindlmarkt stage

On Thursday, December 11, 2025, from 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM, the CHG-Bigband of the Chiemgau Gymnasium will fill the Traunstein town square with jazzy swing, Latin rhythms, and festive classics. The traditional Christkindlmarkt stage will become a sound space for a concert experience amid twinkling lights, crisp winter air, and an expectant audience atmosphere.

Jazz Energy, Christmas Warmth

The large ensemble of young musicians conducted by Christina Veit relies on precise orchestration and a warm big band sound. Between dynamic brass sections and a tight rhythm group, fine solos shine through. White Christmas, Sleigh Ride, and Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer meet Latin standards, rock, and pop songs – elegantly arranged, stylistically synchronized.

Live Atmosphere at the Christkindlmarkt

As the lights twinkle above the town square, the open acoustics carry the melodies over the stalls. The scent of mulled wine mingles with applause, children dance in front of the stage, families and jazz fans nod to the beat. The stage performance of the CHG-Bigband thrives on joy of playing, clean interplay, and timing that makes even difficult transitions appear effortless.

Regional Expertise

The CHG-Bigband was newly formed in 2011 and has since counted up to 40–50 members per school year. Performances range from jazz matinees to radio recordings; regular collaborations with renowned musicians enhance the artistic profile. From the school carnival concert, it grew into a crowd puller – a testament to sustainable talent development and smart program design.

Short Distance, Great Experience

The Christkindlmarkt stage is centrally located in the town square. Thanks to short distances, diverse gastronomy, and an atmospheric backdrop, the one-hour set becomes the ideal after-work concert during the Advent season – compact, free of charge, and highly musical.

Conclusion

An hour of finest big band sound in the midst of Advent: Those who love swing, want to hear Christmas songs anew, and appreciate authentic stage energy will experience a compact and enchanting concert experience here. Dress warmly, arrive on time – and enjoy the CHG-Bigband live.
