On Sunday 8th December 2024 at 7pm the Guinness Choir & Orchestra will perform J.S. Bach’s magnificent ‘Christmas Oratorio’ (in English) in the RDS Concert Hall, Dublin. Written in 1734, Johann Sebastian Bach’s Christmas Oratorio was composed as a celebration of the Nativity, unfolding the joyous events of Christ’s birth across six magnificent cantatas.
The Choir and our wonderful ensemble of soloists and instrumentalists, performing four of these cantatas, will guide you through the rich emotional landscapes so masterfully painted by Bach, from the humble reverence of the shepherds to the exultation of angels, all united in awe before the newborn King.
You are invited into the wonder and mystery of Christmas through a blend of exquisite solo arias, vibrant choruses, and profound recitatives all under the direction of Ciarán Kelly. The world class soloists include Anna Devin (Soprano) Leanne Fitzgerald (Alto) Christopher Bowen (Tenor & Evangelist) and Eoghan Desmond (Bass).
Tickets €40 and €35 (early bird discount €30 up to Oct 31st) on Eventbrite.
