Christmas Concert

J. S. Bach: Christmas Oratorio, BWV248 (Parts 1 - 3)

J. S. Bach’s Christmas Oratorio ranks among his finest large-scale choral works. It is a cycle of six cantatas, which were performed at six different times between Christmas Day and the feast of Epiphany. The Christmas Oratorio borrowed many of the best movements from some of Bach’s earlier secular cantatas, refitting them with sacred texts. This performance will surely be a moving and unforgettable musical experience this Christmas season.
