During this year's Advent season, we invite you to two festive concerts that celebrate the anticipation of Christmas with three important works by Johann Sebastian Bach.
The first concert will feature the program "Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland", which is dedicated to one of the most important Lutheran chorales. With the cantata of the same name BWV 62 by Johann Sebastian Bach, as well as "Schwingt euch empor" BWV 36, we celebrate the beginning of the Advent season in a concertante manner.
In the second concert, we present "Bereitet die Wege, bereitet die Bahn", a powerful and inviting cantata that Bach composed for the 4th week of Advent. The program will be complemented by festive organ pieces and classical works by W. A. Mozart and F. X. Brixi and performed by a small orchestra.
Let yourself be carried away by Bach's masterful creations into the contemplative Advent season and enjoy the uplifting atmosphere of the Hofkirche St. Leodegar.
