Complete Bach Cantatas – December 19-20, Bourgie Hall LiveEvents December 14, 2015 5206 I Musici de Montréal presents Christmas resounds with Bach Cantatas Jean-Marie Zeitouni, conductor Kimy McLaren, soprano Mireille Lebel, alto Frédéric Antoun, tenor Steven Labrie, baritone With the Studio de musique ancienne de Montréal J.-S. Bach Christmas Oratorio (Cantatas 1, 2 & 3) As part of the complete Bach cantatas series launched by the Arte Musica Foundation at Salle Bourgie, I Musici presents the first three cantatas of the Christmas Oratorio. Bach’s monumental six-cantata masterwork was never meant to be played in a single day. The first three are dedicated to the days around Christmas, and the other three to New Year’s Day, the day after, and Epiphany. The first three thus cover the most festive and joyful parts of the nativity: the birth, the annunciation to the shepherds, and the adoration of the shepherds. It is I Musici’s gift to you.
