Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra and Chamber Choir is set to launch the Yuletide season with music by J.S. Bach’s Christmas Oratorio.

The group will perform the work on Nov. 22, 23 & 24, 2024 at Jeanne Lamon Hall. Soloists will include soprano Hélène Brunet, mezzo-soprano Cecilia Duarte, and baritone Jesse Blumberg.



Renowned English tenor Charles Daniels will perform the role of the Evangelist. In a statement, Ivars Taurins, Choir Director said, “Bach Christmas Oratorio offers cathartic joy, solace, contemplation, and refreshment for the soul. It shares with us the gifts of exultation and hope through Bach’s masterful and luminous music.

” Following performances of the “Christmas Oratorio,” the ensemble will perform Händel’s “Messiah” at Koerner Hall on Dec. 20 & 21, and Sing-Along Messiah at Massey Hall on Dec. 22.
