The eighth edition of the traditional biennial Christmas concert by the Ensemble Wiener Collage at the Arnold Schönberg Center is dedicated to the theme of women in the environment of Jesus of Nazareth. Reason enough to trace not only the traditional image of women in the New Testament as mothers or penitents, but also mysterious traditions, as they are conveyed to us, for example, from the apocryphal writings condemned as heresy by the official church, but also through legends and superstition.
