Christmas Oratorio

it’s dark out there. let bach light things up.

The Christmas Oratorio is pure joy — triumphant brass, dancing rhythms, melodies so bright they seem to carry their own light. But Bach being Bach, there is tenderness here too: intimate arias, moments of quiet wonder, music that doesn't just celebrate the season but seems to breathe it. The Oratorio Chorale gathers all six parts into one magical 75-minute evening. It's dark out there. Let Bach light things up.
