"the level of stamina, commitment, memory and focus seemed almost miraculous"
"it was the most exciting performance of this piece I have ever done, and certainly the most rewarding"
Above is a taster of last year's performance of 'a chamber Messiah' in London.  It was received very warmly by both audience and performers (see the quotes above), and this year we've decided to apply the principle to Bach's seasonal masterpiece, the Christmas Oratorio (cantatas I, III, V & VI).  There are two concerts: in St John's Smith Square, London on 3rd December (tickets here) and Trinity College Chapel, Cambridge on 5th December (tickets here).  It would be wonderful to see a big audience at both events.  More details on our Next Concert page.

Congratulations - last night convinced a sceptic that small scale (ie two to a part) Bach really works, at least in the Xmas oratorio!

This Christmas Oratorio was an outstanding achievement. Certainly one of the high points of my musical year. I did not know quite what to expect, but the quality of singing and playing was breathtaking as was the intimacy of the performance. Last year I heard the St Matthew in Leipzig. That was brilliant. This matched it! Thank you Solomon's Knot!
