Bach Concert - MINIMES CANTAT

Like the Roman god Janus who gave this month its name, Bach's January cantatas look both ways: to anxiety and despair, but then to hope and joy. We open our concert, however, with the famous E-major violin concerto, whose sparkling outer movements frame a poignant Adagio of exquisite tenderness. A true act of love to start the new year!

 “The cantatas of the Minimes” have been a Brussels institution for 41 years now. Every fourth Sunday of the month, we present the cantatas of J. S. Bach as the Cantor of Leipzig had done in his time. Free admission at 17.00 for a concert of about 45 minutes in the very beautiful church of Saint-Jacques-sur-Coudenberg where the faithful audience will regularly come for a great spiritual and cultural moment.
