Discover enchanting early baroque music this Christmas with Arcangelo and Jonathan Cohen.
Forget Bach’s Christmas Oratorio, put the Christmas Carols aside for a moment and dive with us into the bewitching world of the early baroque music of Heinrich Schütz and his contemporaries. The renowned choir and orchestra Arcangelo, conducted by Jonathan Cohen, has delighted a DE SINGEL audience before and now returns with a Christmas concert. The evening promises to be an unforgettable musical journey with festive Renaissance dances, warm-blooded Christmas motets and Morgenstern by Michael Praetorius. The showpiece of this programme is The Christmas Story by Heinrich Schütz, perhaps the most beautiful and emotional musical version of the Biblical Christmas story.
