On Wednesday, 3rd December 2025, at 8pm, the Guinness Choir & Orchestra will perform J.S. Bach’s magnificent ‘Christmas Oratorio’ in the National Concert Hall, Dublin.
Written in 1734, Johann Sebastian Bach’s Christmas Oratorio was composed as a celebration of the Nativity, unfolding the joyous events of Christ’s birth across six magnificent cantatas. The Choir, along with a wonderful ensemble of soloists and instrumentalists, will perform four of these cantatas, guiding you through the rich emotional landscapes masterfully painted by Bach, from the humble reverence of the shepherds to the exultation of angels, all united in awe before the newborn King.
You are invited into the wonder and mystery of Christmas through a blend of exquisite solo arias, vibrant choruses, and profound recitatives all under the direction of Ciarán Kelly. World-class soloists on the night include Kelli-Ann Masterson (Soprano), Leanne Fitzgerald (Alto), Christopher B. Fischer (Tenor & Evangelist), and Eoghan Desmond (Bass).
Guinness Choir & Orchestra perform J.S. Bach’s ‘Christmas Oratorio’ on Wednesday, 3rd December 2025, at 8 pm in the National Concert Hall, Dublin.
