Washington’s Premier Bach Experience

In what has become the Washington Bach Consort’s signature work, you can enjoy this performance in the spectacular Music Center at Strathmore for what The Washington Post praises as a “splendid” and “joyful” rendering of Bach’s Christmas Oratorio.

Vocalists of the Washington Bach Consort under the direction of Dana Marsh will delve into Schütz’s finest collections: first, the incomparable Cantiones Sacrae—a cycle of motets with an entirely unique musical language—not only when compared with other composers, but as Joshua Rifkin has put it, even when compared with any other collection of Schütz’s own work during his lifetime.
