Sergio Azzolini is one of the greats in his profession and he is from Bolzano. Sergio Azzolini studied from 1978 to 1985 with Romano Santi at the Monteverdi Conservatory in his home town and then at the Hanover University of Music with Klaus Thunemann. During this time he was already solo bassoonist in the European Community Youth Orchestra. In addition to his solo activities on the modern bassoon, Azzolini has been intensively involved with the baroque bassoon in recent years. Today he is regarded as the soloist on this instrument. For example, Azzolini plays under the direction of Christophe Coin in the Ensemble Baroque Limoges, with La Stravaganza Köln, the Sonatori de la Gioiosa Marca, L'aura soave Cremona, Parnassi musici, the Collegium 1704 and with the Holland Baroque Society. Since 2013, a particular focus has been on his collaboration with his own baroque orchestra L'Onda Armonica. Azzolini was a member of the Sabine Meyer Wind Ensemble and the Ma'alot Quintet and was artistic director of the Kammerakademie Potsdam from 2002 to 2007. After a professorship at the Stuttgart University of Music and Performing Arts, Azzolini has been professor of bassoon and chamber music at the Basel University of Music since 1998.

Five extraordinary musicians stage an unparalleled crib. Driven by malice and skill, the Moving Krippenspielers, led by jazz musician and multi-instrumentalist Matthias Schriefl, create a new version of the famous Christmas story, leaving plenty of room for creativity and interaction.

Short guided tour in German/Italian. Meeting point: at the church in Mittelberg. Duration: 20 minutes, Cost: € 2. The St. Nikolaus church in Mittelberg is first mentioned in 1289. This church was enlarged in the gothic style in 1400 and has kept its appearance from that time. The tower is somewhat later than the church and was probably built in the 14th Century. It is made of natural stones laid in regular patterns. Possibly in 1400 the upper levels were altered to the gothic style and the existing windows date from that period. In 1744 a rather large onion dome was added. It does not fit the building but is still quite pleasing. In 1976, during the restoration of the church and the tower, the Romanesque masonry was discovered. In this phase of restoration also came to light a large cycle of medieval frescoes that reproduce scenes of the passion of the Lord, the twelve apostles and prophets

At last! The scent of cinnamon and cloves is in the air again, mulled wine is bubbling and a refugee family from the Middle East is housed in a stable, with angels singing on the roof. If Improtheater had already existed at the time, perhaps the shepherds would have staged a musical with a happy ending for the baby Jesus. Or they would have finally ended their love story with Maggie. So simply come to the theatre, because here life is filled with happy messages. And maybe even Santa Claus will peep in. Hohoho!
