Come & Sing 2025
The Gift
A Festive Choral Weekend in Ingolstadt
28–30 November 2025
Step into the festive season with The Gift – a heartwarming choral weekend celebrating the rich traditions of European Christmas music.
Set in the charming city of Ingolstadt, our “Come & Sing” event welcomes singers of all backgrounds for a joyful and inspiring musical experience. No audition required.
Led by internationally renowned conductor and presenter Tori Longdon (UK) – known for her work with the BBC, the Stay at Home Choir (now WorldChoir), and ensembles across Europe – participants will explore a beautiful and atmospheric programme of Christmas choral music from across the continent. Tori brings a unique combination of musical excellence, warmth, and infectious energy that makes singing under her direction a truly uplifting experience.
Participants "our Kollektives" will be an integral part of the final concert, rehearsing and performing alongside the KONEKTO Vocal Ensemble and the Ingolstädter Nachtigallen children’s choir (as part of the KONEKTO Kids programme).
The final concert will take place on Sunday, 30 November 2025 at 15:00 in the beautiful St. Moritz Church – the oldest church in Ingolstadt – and is open to the public with free entry (donations welcome).
