The UNI Orchestra provides dramatic moments with the Coriolan Overture by Ludwig van Beethoven, which tells the tragic story of the Roman general. Jean Sibelius composed a homage to his homeland with "Finlandia", which the orchestra also performs with the support of the UNI Choir. There will also be a medley of Duke Ellington's immortal songs, film music from "How To Train Your Dragon", and there will be no shortage of humour with Leroy Anderson's "The Typewriter".

The UNI Choir shows its political side with the song "#lautsein" by Maybebop and two songs by Taylor Swift ("Only The Young" and "You're On Your Own, Kid"). Also in the programme: the Coldplay song "Fix You", a mash-up of the Irving Berlin songs "Steppin' Out With My Baby" and "Puttin' On The Ritz" as well as an unusual version of the Carol King song "You've Got A Friend".

The baroque ensemble will also be performing a short concerto by Antonio Vivaldi. All ensembles will perform under the direction of church music director Christoph Spengler.
