Angels and Shepherds: A German Baroque Christmas

The Cape Town Baroque Orchestra in collaboration with the Lutesong Consort 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, 19:00–20:30
St Andrews Presbyterian Church, Somerset Road, De Waterkant
Tickets (R200, R180) available on Quicket
