Cappella Breda with 'Vrees toch niet'

What if music temporarily frees you from everything? Cappella Breda, conducted by guest conductor Dirkjan Horringa, presents a special concert titled ‘Vrees toch niet’ - a programme that moves and uplifts. In these uncertain times, it is a relief to pause and reflect on music that offers comfort, trust, and light.

At the centre of this concert are the motets of Johann Sebastian Bach, including the magnificent and hopeful ‘Fürchte dich nicht, ich bin bei dir’ (BWV 228). This work is like a warm hand on your shoulder: reassuring, loving, powerful. Bach composed this motet with a masterful balance between soulful depth and jubilant joy – a real gem for those who love choral music that touches the heart.

In addition to this highlight, Cappella Breda will also perform other beautiful works, such as ‘Jesu, meine Freude’ and ‘Aus tiefer Not schrei ich zu dir’, also by Bach. Surprising spiritual choral works by Cyrillus Kreek and Brahms’s touching ‘Geistliches Lied’ will also be performed. Whether you are religious or simply seeking peace and inspiration: this music speaks to every heart.

Come listen and let yourself be warmed by this special evening filled with sound, soul, and connection.
