Frohe Botschaft in Tönen

12.12.2026 18:00 St. Laurent Church, Grevenmacher

Conductor: Salome Harms-Sanchez

"Jauchzet, frohlocket!": with rolling timpani and radiant trumpets, one of the best-known works in the history of music bursts into life. On the third weekend of Advent, the Chorale Municipale Grevenmacher and Estro Armonico bring Bach's Christmas Oratorio to the church of Saint-Laurent in Grevenmacher.

The programme features Cantatas I, II and VI. The first joyfully celebrates the birth of Jesus, the second, with its gentle pastoral Sinfonia, takes us out to the shepherds in the fields, and the sixth, written by Bach for the Feast of the Epiphany, crowns the work with the brilliance of trumpets.

This project brings several generations together on stage: alongside the Chorale Municipale and Estro Armonico, the Chorale Muselfénkelcher and pupils of the Regional Maacher Musekschoul take part. The solo parts are sung by a quartet of young singers who already bring solid stage experience: Anna Major (soprano), Teresa Mertz Echauri (alto), Konstantin Glomb (Evangelist and tenor) and Philipp Schneider (bass). The concerts are conducted by Salome Harms-Sanchez.

Two concerts to get you in the Christmas mood. Advance booking is recommended.
