Advent Concerts
It is not just the Altötting Christmas Market that is worth a visit each year, but also the numerous Advent concerts taking place during that season. For well over 50 years the Altötting Advent Choral Concert performed by the Liedertafel on Saturdays and Wednesdays during the Advent season has formed the musical framework. Many other local ensembles, such as the chapel boys’choir and the church girls’ choir, the Alötting traditional costume society or the Bach Choir know how to put listeners in the spirit of Advent during this most beautiful time of the year. However, not only the local choirs are inspiring. The Altötting Christmas market also draws many well-known guest stars to Altötting, such as the well-known singer Oswald Sattler who will perform at the Stiftspfarrkiche, and the renowned actress Christian Wolff, who will visit the pilgrimage town and read contemplative and inspiring Advent stories as part of the Great Advent Concert by the famous Bad Tölz Boys’ Choir.
