Bach Concert - MINIMES CANTAT

The penitent Lenten period before Easter inspired some of Bach’s most eloquent music. This month, we present two early cantatas showing the young composer at his most inventive and eclectic. As a starter, we add a short Magnificat from his Bavarian contemporary Gallus Zeiler - a Minimes première. 

“The cantatas of the Minimes” have been a Brussels institution for 40 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.
