Bart Naessens (Clavier), Bart Naessens (Leader), Stefanie True (Soprano), Alexander Chance (Alto), Anders Dahlin (Tenor), Tobias Berndt (Bass)

Nowadays it’s amazing music, and a lesson in life for those who listen carefully. As a searching, uncertain person, where can you find a foothold and assurance? This rich programme shows you the way, with beautiful Bach cantatas and music by composers greatly admired by Bach himself: Johann Kuhnau and Johann Christoph Bach. Halfway along, Bach’s friend and colleague Telemann gives us a taste of what we’re ultimately working towards: carefree happiness and peace for the soul.

Mass in B minor

Tue, Dec 16, 2025, 20:00

Grote Kerk Naarden (Naarden)

Richard Egarr (Conductor), Johanna Ihrig (Sopraan 1), Mary Bevan (Sopraan 2), Helen Charleston (Alt), Guy Cutting (Tenor), Matthew Brook (Bas)

Sublime, outsized, all-embracing. Only superlatives will suffice to describe Bach’s Mass in B minor. At the end of his life, Bach brought his best and most beautiful pieces together in a single Mass. That was how Bach wanted to be remembered, and the Mass in B minor is his musical testament. Sublime, outsized, all-embracing“In between the awe-inspiring ‘Kyrie’ and the jubilant ‘Dona nobis pacem’ come nine totally unique arias and duets, fourteen impressive choral sections and a broad range of instrumental solos. The British conductor Richard Egarr is leading the ensemble on this Christmas tour. Egarr says, “Some musical compositions are simply greater than any performance can realise: Beethoven’s Missa Solemnis and Bach’s Mass in B minor are two such examples. These transcendental masterpieces were deliberately created as messages of hope for posterity, and as a challenge for us to attain the same artistic heights. It’s always a supremely humbling joy to make that journey with Bach in this sublime creation.”

St Matthew Passion

Hans-Christoph Rademann (Conductor), Benedikt Kristjánsson (Evangelist), Carine Tinney (Soprano), Kristen Witmer (Soprano), Terry Wey (Alto), Olivia Vermeulen (Alto), Georg Poplutz (Tenor), James Gilchrist (Tenor), Matthias Winckhler (Bass), Tobias Berndt (Bass), Kampen Boys Choir

Every year, for more than a century, we have been performing one of Bach’s most popular works: the St Matthew Passion. This year, the prominent German conductor Hans-Christoph Rademann is leading our ensemble.Bach’s masterly music keeps moving us“Betrayal, condemnation and death, but above all – love. Although the words of the St Matthew Passion are age-old, the story and the message are still relevant today. And every year, Bach’s masterly music moves us once again. Bach’s masterpiece is in good hands with Rademann. In every St Matthew Passion he performs, this real Bach man – founder of the Dresdner Kammerchor, artistic director of the Bachakademie Stuttgart and regular name at the international music festival Bachfest – seeks out a new contemporary approach, always keeping a careful eye on the monumental character of the work. For decades, he has been one of the most successful choral conductors in Germany. Plenty of reason, therefore, to invite Rademann as the guest conductor for our traditional Passion concerts.

Twenty years later, he is returning with even more experience and a deeper vision of Bach’s masterpiece. He says, “J.S. Bach had maybe four opportunities in his lifetime to perform the St Matthew Passion, but I have performed this over hundred times all over the world.

Bach's inspiration

Fri, May 15, 2026, 20:15

Grote Kerk Naarden (Naarden)

Johanna Soller (Conductor), Carine Tinney (Soprano), Alex Potter (Alto), Daniel Johannsen (Tenor), Matthias Winckhler (Bass)

How can a text inspire a composer? And what happens if you give three composers the same poem as a source for their music? Conductor Johanna Soller shows us the result in a programme of beautiful music by Bach and the contemporary composer Gregor A. Mayrhofer.A brand-new cantata“In 1726, after years of unimaginable creativity and zest for work, Bach suddenly takes things a bit easier. He composes less, but what he does write has one particular source of inspiration: an anthology of poems from the beginning of the eighteenth century, by Duke Ernst Ludwig of Saxe-Meiningen. In 1726, Bach also performs many cantatas by his cousin Johann Ludwig Bach. And what was Johann Ludwig’s source of inspiration? That same anthology of poems. Now, 300 years later, the young German composer Gregor A. Mayrhofer takes a fresh look at the poetry, to create a brand-new cantata, written especially for this programme.
