Voorschotens Kamerkoor zingt Bach en Handel

J.S. Bach's moving Jesus meine Freude (BWV 227) is a highly complex motet written for 5-voice choir. This is followed by the performance of the grand hymn The Ways of Zion Do Mourn, composed by G.F. Handel (HWV 264) in 1737 to mark the death and funeral of Queen Caroline, wife of King Henry II. The performance of this concert will be under the direction of the VKK's resident conductor Nico Philip Hovius, accompanied by a professional string quintet and an organist.
