6. Stuttgarter Weihnachtssingen

Young and old - young and old - strangers and friends: together we make Christmas resound and send our melodies to heaven.
A countdown to the holidays without the Stuttgart Christmas caroling? That's simply unthinkable now! And so we can proudly announce: On Sunday, December 22 at 5:00 pm, the 6th Stuttgart Christmas Singing 2024 will take place at the GAZi Stadium on the Waldau. The heart-warming concept has not changed for the 6th edition: come together, sing together, feel the solidarity and enjoy the anticipation of Christmas. The tireless motivator, lead singer and pacemaker of the stadium choir is - as always, of course! - Patrick Bopp, musically supported by regional church music director Matthias Hanke, the tried and tested Christmas carol band and the brass ensemble EJUS. But of course the preparation team will not miss the opportunity to tweak a few things and try out something new once again. For the first time, Patrick Bopp will receive vocal support not only from his - former - FÜENF colleague Christian Langer, but also from singer-songwriter Marie Louise.
The brilliant basic idea behind this event has become a tradition in just a few years: singing Christmas together just before Christmas Eve, across all religious, generational and social boundaries. There are several good reasons why the Stuttgart Christmas carol service has been able to establish itself so quickly since its premiere in 2019. One of them is the atmospheric location in the seasonally decorated GAZi stadium under the Stuttgart TV tower. Another is "lead singer" Patrick Bopp, known from the FÜENF, who leads the traditionally numerous young Christmas fans and families through the unorthodox program of Christmas classics, pop hits and children's songs as a humorous master of ceremonies on the piano. The song lyrics for singing along are projected onto the big screen. The most important reason has nothing to do with outward appearances: it's the sense of community with goosebumps guaranteed that arises when several thousand Christmas fans sing the countdown to the festive season!
With so many positive vibes, it's only logical that the organizers put themselves at the service of a good cause right from the start. Part of the proceeds will therefore be donated to two wonderful organizations: the Stiftung Singen mit Kindern (https://singen-mit-kindern.de) and the Kinderturnstiftung Baden-Württemberg (https://www.kinderturnstiftung-bw.de).
