When:
In Bach’s time, a cantata was a musical sermon. Today, it is amazing music and – for those who listen attentively – a lesson in life. This programme explores the spectrum of human emotion, from profound sorrow to unbridled joy, culminating in the luminous beauty of Bach’s cherished cantata, Schmücke dich, o liebe Seele. Under the baton of Bart Naessens, the Bach Society’s ensemble performs alongside top soloists like Stefanie True and Alexander Chance. If you’re searching and uncertain, where can you anchor yourself and find assurance? This rich programme shows you the way, with beautiful Bach cantatas and music by composers whom Bach himself greatly admired: Johann Kuhnau and Johann Christoph Bach. Halfway through the programme, Bach’s colleague and friend, Telemann, gives us a foretaste of what we are all working towards: unbridled joy and inner peace.

Early Music
The Netherlands Bach Society is a leading vocal-instrumental ensemble with a strong international reputation. Founded in 1921 to perform Bach’s St Matthew Passion in the Grote Kerk, in Naarden, the Netherlands Bach Society has grown over the past century into a professional ensemble who play, sing and pass on the work of Bach and his contemporaries and kindred spirits. Our musicians play authentic instruments and are driven by curiosity and the joy of music-making.
