Bach Akademie Australia brings to life Bach’s Christmas Oratorio, a Baroque masterpiece that beautifully captures the joy, wonder, and mystery of the Nativity. These special performances, marking the first Sydney presentations in 15 years using period instruments and in an authentically informed interpretation, will take place at the iconic City Recital Hall in Sydney on Friday, 8 November.

Bach’s Christmas Oratorio is a series of six cantatas that stand as one of his most monumental achievements. Written in the winter of 1734-35, each cantata showcases Bach’s brilliance in crafting inventive soundscapes and masterful orchestration, employing dynamic combinations of instruments and voices to convey the essence of joy, hope, and renewal.
