No composition captures the joy of Christmas as beautifully as Bach’s Christmas Oratorio. This masterpiece—filled with exuberant choruses, lyrical arias, and poignant melodies—lies at the heart of the holiday tradition. In a unique collaboration, the Netherlands Chamber Choir and the renowned Baroque ensemble Cappella Mediterranea bring all six cantatas of this iconic work to life, under the baton of the charismatic conductor Leonardo García Alarcón.

With his passion for historical performance and his refined sense of expression, Leonardo García Alarcón brings a fresh and authentic interpretation to Bach’s masterpiece. The combination of the Netherlands Chamber Choir—renowned for its tonal beauty and perfection—and Cappella Mediterranea, with its lush and vibrant Baroque sound, guarantees a performance brimming with energy, depth, and festive splendor. The perfect start to the Christmas season.
