About this Event

Composed in 1734, Weihnachtsoratorium (Christmas Oratorio), BWV 248, celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ with a monumental work. Structured in six cantatas, it narrates the nativity story through a blend of scripture, poetry, and music. Each cantata corresponds to a specific feast day within the Christmas season, starting from Christmas Day to Epiphany. Bach’s masterful use of instrumentation, contemplative winds, exuberant trumpets, and sophisticated continuo, showcases his profound ability to blend theological depth with musical beauty. The oratorio is notable for its lyrical brilliance, as the text seamlessly fits the musical patterns that continue to resonate with audiences today.
