History & Mission:

Cantatediensten (Cantate Services) in Kloosterkerk
Every last Sunday of the month the worship at the Kloosterkerk has a special character. The Residentie Bachkoor or the Residentie Kamerkoor and the Residentie Bachorkest perform a cantata of J.S. Bach. Soloists, chorus and orchestra under the direction of Jos Vermunt. The cantata is an essential part of the service, as Bach intended. The performances are of high standard and the services are therefore very well attended. The service starts at 10:30 hours.
