Cantatas that show the way

In a world fraught with turmoil, Bach and his cantatas offer a sanctuary from the daily grind. For centuries, Bach’s cantatas have provided solace, reflection, and a sense of peace. John Butt, artistic director of the Dunedin Consort and renowned Bach expert, has selected three cantatas with themes that resonate with today’s listeners. 

Do you let others in, or do you keep them at a distance? In the face of injustice, do you seek revenge or do you choose to forgive? And where do you find trust, hope and faith? Life’s eternal questions, with potential answers found in the music of Bach. With John Butt at the helm, the small ensemble delivers a performance rich in emotional depth.

This concert takes place in the Waalse Kerk, tickets for this concert are on sale via Nederlandse Bachvereniging.
