Description
WA's leading musicians, directed by Dr Joseph Nolan, tell the Christmas story in classic baroque style. Don't miss Bach's joyful Christmas Oratorio on 13 December!
The Christmas Oratorio celebrates the Nativity, from the birth of Jesus to the journey of the Magi. Joseph describes it as “a wonderful, jubilant, work – utilising bright major keys and terrific storytelling through the colour of the music and instruments”. Bach is unbeatable, in his opinion, and audiences can’t fail to be affected by his passion for the music.
Earlier this year, SGCS co-presented Bach's St Matthew Passion with the West Australian Symphony Orchestra (WASO). The concert was a resounding success, Limelight Magazine reviewer Will Yeoman describing it as “one of the most moving and technically accomplished performances” of the oratorio he had ever heard.
The Christmas Oratorio in December is another chance to experience the transcendent sounds of Bach with some of Australia's leading singers and players.
