Christmas is a busy time for everyone – including a composer like Johann Sebastian Bach in the 1730s. Not only is he responsible for all the music in Leipzig's churches and for teaching the students at the associated school – he also has to write new music for the many holidays. And in the midst of a daily routine that would have caused most people stress in a single week, Bach writes some of the greatest masterpieces of Western civilization.

The Christmas Oratorio

Maribo Cathedral

Church of Our Lady Copenhagen

St. Mary's Church Helsingør

One of the most enduring Christmas traditions is the Copenhagen Phil and Copenhagen Boys' Choir's performances of Bach's  Christmas Oratorio . So forget about gift shopping, Christmas stress and overeating for a few hours and instead join us in Bach's wondrous Christmas world.
