The Bach Choir of Bethlehem’s Annual Christmas Concerts: Now on-demand!
Experience the magic of our Christmas concert featuring Bach’s Magnificat and Cantata 63, recorded live in Bethlehem on December 10th. You can enjoy this beautiful performance on-demand through December 31st.
“This season, our Christmas concert pulses with joy, echoing through the notes of Bach’s legendary Magnificat and the festive cantata Christen ätzet diesen Tag, which resonates even more powerfully as we mark its 300th anniversary. And as we cap off the evening with our cherished carol singing tradition, be prepared for a fresh note – a brand new carol that we will breathe life into for the very first time, together. Such is the spirit of collaboration and unity that we carry with us, echoing through the entire season.“ ~ Dr. Christopher Jackson
Following the success of the Gala Anniversary Concert, which truly embodied the spirit of community and shared experience, The Bach Choir of Bethlehem is excited to continue spreading joy and celebration through the magic of music. The Bach Choir of Bethlehem is thrilled to present its annual Christmas Concerts virtually, to its expansive and enthusiastic audience. The live-streamed concert may be viewed through December by all ticketed patrons.

The joyful Magnificat and the delightfully festive Cantata 63 – packed with brass fanfare – are the ultimate combination for Christmas-time celebration! Both written in 1723, these masterpieces are in turn devout, playful, ebullient, and full of infectious and rhapsodic joy. The music resonates through centuries, bringing us together in shared history and vibrant musical traditions. The Bach Choir of Bethlehem is excited to feature a new carol composed just for the Christmas concerts, adding a new dimension to its carol-singing tradition.
