Event details

Bach's Christmas Oratorio has become a festive tradition for many listeners, and Københavns Kantatekor brings it back this December. Bach composed the work for the Christmas season of 1734–35 while serving as cantor at St Thomas's Church in Leipzig. It is really a cycle of six cantatas rather than a traditional oratorio.

This concert presents cantatas I, II, IV and V, performed at Store Magleby Church.

  • Torben H.S. Svendsen, conductor
  • Nina Bols Lundgren, soprano
  • Julie Husballe, alto
  • Tyler Ray, tenor
  • Asmus Hanke, bass

Want to hear all six cantatas in one evening? The choir performs the full cycle at Helligaandskirken in Copenhagen on 19 December.
