When Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart died in 1791, at the age of just 35, he left his Requiem unfinished. The myth of the death mass's indirect contribution to the composer's death has become a core narrative, which Milos Forman made world-famous with his film Amadeus. And even if the myth is untrue, Mozart's Requiem is and remains one of history's strongest symbols of the fragility of life and the ability of music to reach beyond death. Mozart's melodic tone is emotionally bottomless: from doomsday terror to comfort, reconciliation and hope. Requiem is not just a funeral mass for the dead. It is life-giving music.

JS Bach: Christmas Oratorio with the Copenhagen Bach Choir

Church of Holmen

True to tradition, the Copenhagen Bach Choir and Orchestra will perform JS Bach's Christmas Oratorio, which is an impressive musical version of the Christmas Gospel and is one of Bach's greatest works consisting of an alternation between recitatives, beautiful arias and beautiful choral movements. The work consists of a total of 6 cantatas - one for each of the 6 days of Christmas, and in this year's concert cantatas 1, 2 and 3 will be performed, which deal with the story of the birth of the baby Jesus, the shepherds in the field and all the well-known scenes from the Christmas Gospel.

The Baroque Orchestra Originalerne.org consists of professional musicians who specialize in playing historical instruments. This makes it possible to perform the work close to the sound that Bach intended.
