Angels and Shepherds: A German Baroque Christmas
Wed Dec 7, 19:00 - Wed Dec 7, 20:30
St Andrew's Presbytarian Church, De Waterkant, Cape Town
ABOUT
The Lutesong Consort in collaboration with The Cape Town Baroque Orchestra will present a concert of festive Christmas music by German Baroque composers for 8 solo voices and chamber orchestra.
The contrast between the immense significance of the Incarnation and its humble pastoral setting has always been a rich source of inspiration for artists and composers alike, and serves as a poignant reminder of our fragile human state and our humility when faced by such mystery. We will highlight this contrast with a special mix of jubilation, magnificence, serene simplicity and tenderness in the Nativity repertoire by, amongst others, Hammerschmidt, Schütz, Praetorius, Buxtehude and Johann Christoph Bach.
7 December, 19:00
St Andrews Presbyterian Church, Somerset Road, De Waterkant
