Approved

The return of the German conductor Florian Helgath, one of the most outstanding new values, namely in the approach to the choral repertoire. With acclaimed stints with the Danish National Choir and the Via Nova Choir in Munich, the current director of the Chorwerk Ruhr returns to the Grand Auditorium to conduct four cantatas from the magnificent Christmas Oratory , one of the most outstanding works by JS Bach. The Christmas Oratorio was composed to accompany the days of the Christmas celebrations of 1734, also citing some of the most sublime sacred works that Bach had created years before.
