Margaretha Consort - Kerst anno 1640

Visitors step back in time for an atmospheric recreation of a Christmas Eve service as it might have sounded around 1640. Led by cellist and gambist Marit Broekroelofs, the ensemble performs well-known Advent and Christmas carols such as 'Nun komm der Heiden Heiland', 'Er is een roos ontloken', and 'In dulci jubilo'. The performance alternates choral works with instrumental pieces, vocal soloists, and prominent organ solos, with opportunities for attendees to sing along.
