Programme
Far away from the hustle and bustle and commercialism, the Bach Society invites you to truly get in the mood for Christmas during Advent. What better way to do this than with the Christmas Oratorio by J.S. Bach? The work was probably only performed once during the composer's lifetime, but today it is regarded as the most popular and famous sacred music from his pen.
The Christmas Oratorio with Michi Gaigg has had a firm place in the Bach Society's concert season for many years. The Collegium Vocale Salzburg, exquisite soloists and the vividly musical L'Orfeo Barockorchester work together to tell the story of the birth of the Son of God.
