Follow the star with the three wise men in Bach’s brilliant and festive Christmas Oratorio. The six ‘episodes’ of the Christmas Oratorio were written for different church services over the Christmas season. Performing them together in concert is a rare treat. In 2023, Brett Weymark conducted Sydney Philharmonia Choirs in Parts 1–3, and in 2025, Elizabeth Scott concludes the series with Parts 4–6. The Christ child is named in a gently uplifting cantata, then the story turns to the journey of the Magi from the East in music that’s as brilliant and intoxicating as gold, frankincense and myrrh.
