Soli Deo Gloria 2025

Composed during Bach’s productive years in Leipzig, the cantatas in this programme form an engaging journey through the great questions of life. BWV 8 serenely contemplates the mystery of mortality, BWV 138 captures the tension between doubt and faith, and BWV 75 triumphantly celebrates divine grace for the humble. With Bach’s ingenious interplay of text and music, these cantatas explore the human condition in a way that is as relevant today as it was in the 18th century. Experience the timeless beauty and emotional power of this music, brought to life Collegium Vocale Gent and Philippe Herreweghe.
