Bach’s Easter Oratorio

A rare chance to hear J.S. Bach’s dramatic Easter masterpiece! Jeannette Sorrell leads soloists, choir, three trumpets, and a festive orchestra. Alongside the Easter Oratorio, we present Bach’s exuberant Easter Cantata, BWV 66 – including a moving dialogue between Hope and Fear, as well as a thrilling trumpet solo.
