Vocally powerful, spirited, enchanting - visitors can really get into the Christmas spirit with the unforgettable Motown sound on Thursday, December 14, 2023, at 8 p.m. in the Idar-Oberstein Municipal Theater.
It's almost impossible not to love the groovy sound of the famous record label from Detroit. And what could be better than sweetening the Advent season with the typical Motown mix of unmistakable voices, virtuoso pop and jazz influences and irresistible rhythms? If you pair the whole thing with timeless Christmas songs, the mixture becomes downright irresistible.
Berry Gordy, who catapulted his hit factory, founded in 1959, from virtually nothing to the music Olympus, knew this too. That's why he had his stars - The Jackson 5, The Temptations, Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson, Stevie Wonder and many more - record an almost inexhaustible repertoire of Christmas classics that have lost none of their charm to this day. You can hear Christmas highlights such as "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town", "Driving Home For Christmas", "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer", "O Holy Night", "Jingle Bells", "White Christmas", "Silent Night", "Christmas Just Ain't Christmas Without The One You Love", "This Christmas" and "Winter Wonderland". Sometimes cheerful, sometimes contemplative, four formidable singers dedicate themselves to the unforgettable Christmas hits of the legendary label and the Christmas messages of the Motown stars. This show is sure to melt even the most die-hard Christmas grouch.
