The gala delighted with a selection of festive pieces, including Bob Krogstad's "Christmas at the Movies", which touched the hearts of the audience with the music of Hollywood classics. The nutcracker was also not to be missing, in which flutes and Celesta were staged. The Philharmonie even mastered the challenges of "The Nightmare Before Christmas". The mood of the event was overwhelming when the orchestra presented the most beautiful melodies for the final of the gala, accompanied by a singing audience with the classic "White Christmas".

In order to make the celebrations even more exciting, the Philharmonie referred to the musical influences of Czech music, especially Josef Bohuslav Foerster, an important composer in Czech music history. Foerster's works that fluctuate pleasantly between traditional harmonies and complex textures were performed by orchestras such as the Janáček Philharmonic Orchestra. This range of sounds and emotions is essential for the Christmas feeling that the Philharmonie wanted to capture on this memorable evening, while at the same time celebrating the love of music, as described in Classicalexplorer.com is.
