Bach Christmas Oratorio by Candlelight
Tuesday 10 December 2024
7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
Johann Sebastian Bach saw himself merely as a craftsman serving God. But when the six cantatas he wrote for the Christmas season are combined into his monumental Christmas Oratorio, the result is something so joyous, so strong and so richly inspired that conventional belief becomes unnecessary.
Join St Martin’s Voices and Chamber Orchestra in an uplifting performance of Parts 1, 2 and 3 of the Christmas Oratorio.
