Johann Sebastian Bach: Magnificat (BWV 243)

ABOUT THE CONCERT

The joyful text of the so-called Mary's Hymn - the Magnificat, has always been a rich inspiration for composers and has become one of the most frequently set to music for liturgical texts. Bach's Magnificat is one of the most aptly grasped themes and is one of his best choral works. We cordially invite you to this extraordinary musical event in the Church of St. Simon and Jude on the threshold of Advent.
