The captivating video for album lead single "Amazing Grace" was filmed at the prestigious French Pavilion in his homeland of Croatia. HAUSER's mesmerizing performance in this exceptional setting adds a unique layer of charm to the song, demonstrating his virtuosity as a cellist.
Adding to the Christmas celebration, HAUSER recently unveiled the first installment of his Christmas movie, titled ‘Christmas Special - Part 1,' featuring performances of "O Holy Night," "The Christmas Song," "Silent Night," and "Angels We Have Heard on High"in his native Croatia.

Tickets for HAUSER's 2024 U.S. tour are available now atHAUSERofficial.com/tour.
HAUSER expresses his vision for the album, stating, "I wanted everything to sound like classical music. Even those pop songs now sound so gorgeous in this instrumentation, with a huge orchestra. They really sound like classical masterpieces. I think people will be surprised to hear their favorite Christmas song in this romantic, 'Hollywood' style. I really wanted to recreate that."
As HAUSER concludes, "I wanted this to be the ultimate Christmas album," aiming to capture every holiday mood, from "a fun Christmas to, I hope, a holy Christmas."
