Christmas with Bach
The Allegri Singers will combine with the ORC Chamber Choir and Willoughby Singers for a truly memorable choral experience in this all-Bach program.
We are delighted to welcome vocal soloists Susannah Lawergren (Soprano), Celeste Haworth-Dias (Mezzo soprano), Elias Wilson (Tenor) and Matthew Avery (Bass). Also featuring are the Allegri Players, under concertmaster Lorraine Moxey, along with organist Gavin Tipping.
The first half of the program includes the Christmas Oratorio BWV 248 Cantata No. 1, the Sinfonia from Cantata No. 2, and Cantata No. 4. After an interval the program concludes with the Prelude and Fugue in Eb Major BWV 552 (St Anne) with Gavin Tipping (organist), then Christmas Oratorio Cantata No. 6 and finally the magnificent Sanctus from the Mass in B Minor BWV 232.
