Over the years, a programme idea has been taking shape in our minds. More than a year ago, it began to become a reality, and now it is finally making its way onto the stage. Do you feel the same way we do? Is Bach’s Christmas Oratorio an indispensable part of your Advent season, too? Some of you may be thinking, “Wait, what? Calmus is bringing the Christmas Oratorio to the stage? Seriously?” Not quite. But almost! The programme we’ll be performing in this year’s Christmas a cappella concerts is entitled Christmas Oratorio and brings together several Christmas oratorios by different composers. Joseph Rheinberger, Camille Saint-Saëns and Bob Chilcott are just a few of the wonderful composers featured in this programme. The backbone of the programme consists of the timelessly beautiful chorales from Johann Sebastian Bach’s Christmas Oratorio, which comment on, connect and complete the pieces performed in between.
We’re especially looking forward to our traditional concerts organised by the ensemble itself, which will once again take place in Halle (Saale), Hamburg and Leipzig.
