Celebrate the season with Bach and Tafelmusik. Bach’s Christmas Oratorio tells the story of the nativity with jubilant choruses and uplifting arias. Originally written for six occasions spanning the twelve days of Christmas, Tafelmusik presents the story over two nights: Cantatas 1, 2, 3 on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, and Cantatas 4, 5, 6 on Friday and Sunday. Each day the programme is completed with Bach’s famous Magnificat, written for Christmas Eve in 1723.
