Bach’s popular cantata Schmücke dich, O liebe Seel forms the magnificent highlight.Schmücke dich, O liebe Seel forms the magnificent highlight“In Bach’s day, a cantata was a musical sermon. 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.

The programme goes from the stately English funeral music of Purcell and Morley, written on the deaths of Queen Elizabeth and Queen Mary, via the hopeful works of Bach’s cousin Johann Christoph Bach, to the moving Kaiserrequiem by Fux, composed for the late empress Eleonora von Neuburg. A religious triptych filled with wonderful, soothing, spiritual music to commemorate the dead.

Mass in B minor

Fri, Dec 12, 2025, 20:15
TivoliVredenburg, Grote Zaal (Utrecht)
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

Sat, Mar 21, 2026, 19:00
TivoliVredenburg, Grote Zaal (Utrecht)
Masaaki Suzuki (Conductor), Nicolas Mulroy (Evangelist), Hana Blažíková (Soprano), Miku Yasukawa (Soprano), Alexander Chance (Alto), Christopher Lowrey (Alto), Raphael Höhn (Tenor), Shimon Yoshida (Tenor), Stephan MacLeod (Bass), Toru Kaku (Bass), Kampen Boys Choir
The St Matthew Passion is one of the best-known and most impressive compositions by Bach. Bach’s interpretation of the story of the Passion of Jesus is brilliant, compelling and moving. The traditional performances by the Bach Society are known all over the world, and this year they will be led by one of today’s best Baroque conductors: Masaaki Suzuki.One of today’s best Baroque conductors“There are few musicians who know Bach as well as conductor, organist and harpsichordist Masaaki Suzuki. He is noted as an important representative of historical performance practice and as a true Bach specialist. He has recorded nearly all Bach’s choral works with his famous ensemble Bach Collegium Japan. In 2005, Suzuki was a guest conductor of the St Matthew Passion with the Bach Society. 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. Despite this fact, it never became something gentle or amicable, always asking me to delve deeper, desire stronger, seek further beauty, and for my full devotion. What can I do more? Yet again, I shall pray and perform with all my heart and soul.”

Bach's inspiration

Thu, May 14, 2026, 20:15
TivoliVredenburg, Grote Zaal (Utrecht)
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.
