Christmas in everyday life

The Singing Christmas Tree in Werdmühleplatz, Zurich, in an archive press photograph. This is not a performance from the 2026 edition.
TO DISCOVER

In Zurich the Christmas tree really sings. And you want to leave!

Red capes, green branches and dozens of voices: the Singing Christmas Tree is also a tree made of people. From 19 November to 23 December 2026 a square in the heart of Zurich is once again filled with music. And the concerts are free.

TO DISCOVER

CHRISTMAS: THERE IS MORE THAN ONE STORY IN THE NATIVITY SCENE!

Shepherds and Magi meet in our cribs. In the Gospels, they come from two different stories waiting to be discovered.
