$Bach\u2019s Christmas Oratorio: Parts 1,2,3,5,6$

Johann Sebastian Bach
Weihnachtsoratorium, BWV 248
Now a cherished Washington, DC tradition, our annual performance of Bach’s Christmas Oratorio is as joyous as the ringing-in of the holiday spirit itself, no matter how you celebrate! The Washington Post was inspired to say that this “joyous” telling of the Christmas story shows that the Consort “could go head-to-head with period ensembles anywhere.”
Hannah De Priest, soprano
Sylvia Leith, alto
Thomas Cooley, tenor & Evangelist
Tyler Duncan, bass
