Christmas without the music of Bach is not Christmas.

No other composer before or since has been able to capture the joy of the Nativity and the hope and renewal that springs forth from it so perfectly. Over 6 Cantatas, Bach takes us on a journey through the Christmas story from the birth of Jesus, the adoration of the shepherds, the new year and finally, the epiphany. Join us in a blaze of trumpets, timpani, our full choir and orchestra to celebrate this truly special season and ring in the new year with joy.
