Bach's Christmas Oratorio opens the door to great music in Ansbach
On Friday, December 18, 2026, the St. Gumbertus Church in Ansbach transforms into a vibrant discovery space for children, parents, and grandparents. In the family concert Classics Under the Lens: Christmas Oratorio, the Windsbach Boys Choir presents Johann Sebastian Bach's festive music in a shortened and concert-educational format on stage.
A Christmas Classic to Wonder and Participate
Bach's Christmas Oratorio combines radiant choral movements, narrative clarity, and festive timbres. The family-friendly concert version makes the work immediately accessible to young listeners. A lively moderation, age-appropriate communication, and interactive elements guide the audience through the musical action and invite them to actively discover the music.
Pure Boy Voices and Baroque Sound Splendor
The Windsbach Boys Choir collaborates with the Baroque orchestra Le Concert Lorrain. Together, they create a transparent, dynamic sound in which choir, soloists, and instrumentalists interlock precisely. The program includes excerpts from Johann Sebastian Bach's Christmas Oratorio, featuring Benno Schachtner as alto, Tobias Hunger as tenor, and Krezimir Strazanac as baritone.
Music Communication Close to the Stage
The concert format is explicitly aimed at the whole family. Instead of a great distance between the work and the audience, a direct access to rhythm, language, orchestration, and musical dramaturgy is created. The moderation explains backgrounds, makes listening moments visible, and creates space for shared experiences. Thus, a concert visit becomes a concentrated, sensory concert experience with a festive atmosphere.
Historic Church Space as Resonator
The St. Gumbertus Church at Johann-Sebastian-Platz 3 provides a special backdrop for the Baroque sound language with its historic church space. The choir carries far into the room thanks to the acoustics, while the instrumental colors of the Baroque orchestra underscore the festive character of Bach's music. In the pre-Christmas season, the sacred architecture combines with a warm, expectant audience atmosphere.
Conclusion: Discover Christmas Music Together Live
The family concert by the Windsbach Boys Choir is aimed at everyone who wants to not just hear Bach's Christmas Oratorio, but also understand, feel, and experience it together. Children encounter great music at eye level, while adults experience the familiar score in a new context. Those who wish to feel the special live atmosphere of this musical Advent afternoon should secure the date in Ansbach.
