The OM presents Christmas Oratorio

Decembre 17th 2025

Bach’s genius is on full display in this monumental masterpiece, composed of six cantatas that recount the story of the Nativity. Its powerful arias rise like majestic columns, its intricate vocalizations act as finely sculpted ornaments, and its clarity illuminates the stained glass and brings the colours to life.

 

This veritable cathedral of sound reaches its fullest expression when performed in a setting as breathtaking as Montréal’s Notre-Dame Basilica, under the baton of visionary architect Yannick Nézet-Séguin.

Help Preserve One of Montréal's Most Iconic Buildings


The Basilica began major restoration work in 2020, which will take over fifteen years to complete. The estimated completion date is around 2040. We have already spent more than 10 million dollars, and your contributions are needed to continue our efforts.

 

The Basilica's heritage tells a story, the collective story of our ancestors who made the dream of one of the most important neo-Gothic architectural works a reality.

 

Your donation will enable us to carry out the maintenance and restoration work necessary to ensure the longevity of Notre-Dame so that future generations can also visit and admire it, and soak up its timeless beauty. 

 

For donations of $25 or more, Zeffy will issue an official donation receipt for income tax purposes, which is sent by email. Please make sure to check your junk mail. 

 

We thank you for your generosity.
