Programme includes:
Charpentier - In nativitatem Domini nostri Jesu Christi canticum
Stradella - Cantata per il Santissimo Natale ‘Ah! Troppo è ver’

Internationally acclaimed baroque music ensemble The English Concert Explore present vivid retellings of the Christmas story from 17th century France and Italy.

Returning to Spitalfields with a vibrant collection of 17th-century music for the season, at the heart of the programme are two stunning cantatas: Charpentier’s In nativitatem Domini, a delicate retelling of the Christmas story, full of his characteristic delicacy and restrained passion, contrasted with Stradella’s Ah! Troppo è ver – a sublime and melodious lyrical outpouring.
