Bach's Christmas Oratorio for Children
Rejoice, be glad! – Bach's Christmas Oratorio retold for children aged four to nine.
"A long time ago, a composer, someone who writes music, was so delighted by the Christ Child that he wanted to tell us the story again through his music. And this music is so beautiful that it is still often played at Christmas today. The story begins in a field, at night..."
In this fresh and humorous retelling, the first three parts of the Christmas Oratorio are shortened, and particularly vivid musical examples are incorporated, which, alongside the story, introduce children to the musical instruments and their characteristics in an unconventional way.
Performers:
- Lorenz Christian Köhler will host the family concert.

- Eric Price, Tenor
- Philipp Meierhöfer, Bass
- Oratorio Choir of the Berlin Cathedral Choir
