Director’s Series
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. Of all seasonal offerings, this work is uniquely focused on the complete story of the Nativity. The Bach Consort is one of very few ensembles in the nation to present this beloved European tradition annually.
