Cristina László will accompany on harpsichord and conductor Nicolae Moldoveanu will lead the showcase, which also includes two orchestral suites by Bach.

“I am delighted  to return to Târgu-Mureş, and it gives me great pleasure to perform this sacred work that marks a celebration of tradition and the spirit of the holidays, in the six cantatas that tell the story of the Nativity of the Lord. I invite everyone in Targu Mures and the rest of Transylvania to discover or rediscover the beauty and complexity of this concert,” von Korch said in a statement.
