Richard Tognetti Director and Lead Violin

---

This Christmas, come and hear Bach's joyful telling of the Christmas story. The Christmas Oratorio comprises six cantatas, each depicting a scene from Christ's birth. 

Richard Tognetti directs from the lead violin with his trademark infectious vigour. Those who attended our recent Beethoven 9 concerts will attest to Richard's captivating ability to marshal orchestral and choral forces. A review in The Australian read: "...simply a triumph. Intoxicating and exhilarating, this [was] a performance for the history books." 

We are joined by acclaimed singers from the Choir of London who are hand-picked from Britain's leading choral baroque specialists, professional choirs and opera companies.

These performances of the Christmas Oratorio in the week before Christmas are an event not to be missed.

Each performance is approximately 4 hours long.
 

This program replaces the previously billed Christmas Oratorio with Sir John Eliot Gardiner and the Monteverdi Choir.
