Music Worcester Presents: Bach Christmas Oratorio at Mechanics Hall

The Winchendon Players are members of the Winchendon Music Festival, a multi-genre music festival featuring artists from across the globe. The ensemble joins The Worcester Chorus for a performance of three sections from Bach’s Christmas Oratorio – written for chamber orchestra, chorus, and soloists. The work by J.S. Bach is exuberant and boisterous; not only is this performance a joyous continuation of the holiday season, but is a great opportunity to hear The Worcester Chorus perform another large-scale choral work.

In addition to the Oratorio, the combined ensembles will also perform one of the most performed and recorded of Bach’s sacred cantatas, Ich habe genug.

The Worcester Chorus performs throughout Music Worcester’s season. Don’t miss an opportunity to hear this chorus skillfully led by Chris Shepard, in union with internationally recognized instrumentalists. Tickets to this performance include access to a pre-concert talk by Claire Fontijn.

Ich habe genug, BWV 82

Christmas Oratorio, BWV 248 – cantatas 1, 3, 5
