The Arts Society Sandwich presents a seasonal illustrated talk with music, by accredited Arts Society lecturer Sandy Burnett.

We will discover how Bach brings the Christmas story alive in his Christmas Oratorio, written for Lutheran congregations in 1730s Leipzig. An overview of Bach’s life and achievement precedes a closer look at this magnificent work.

Sandy’s close relationship with Bach’s music stretches back for decades; between 1997 and 2010 he directed a complete cycle of Bach’s sacred cantatas.
