The Gabrieli Consort & Players were founded in 1982 by Paul McCreesh, one of the most talented and versatile directors in the field of early music. Together they have gained an outstanding international reputation for their challenging performances of Renaissance and Baroque music.

In the Lutheran liturgical calendar, the Christmas cycle consists of only two weeks, which in Leipzig during the time of J.S. Bach, required the performance of cantatas for the three days of Christmas (December 25, 26 and 27), New Year's Day, Epiphany Day, and the Sunday after Christmas and the Sunday after the New Year.

This incredible collection of musician will perform these works and more, as well as festive Christmas hymns at Palau de la Música.
