An extensive Vox Luminis project of festive music by Johann Sebastian Bach and other Baroque composers began with rehearsals in Malonne, near Namur in Belgium on Saturday 6 December 2025. The first concert took place on Tuesday 9 December at the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg. The programme featured Telemann’s Uns ist ein Kind geboren (TWV 1:1451), J. S. Bach’s Christen äztet diesen Tag (BWV 63) and Bach’s Magnificat in D major (BWV 243). Further performances of the same programme with the same 50-strong forces followed at De Doelen in Rotterdam on Thursday 11 December and at the Konzerthaus Dortmund on Saturday 13 December.

After additional rehearsals in Namur from 15–17 December, to rehearse some substituted repertoire (Kuhnau instead of Telemann, and Bach’s Magnificat in E-flat major instead of in D), parts two and three of this three-part and five-country tour followed. The second part of the tour featured Johann Kuhnau’s Magnificat in C major alongside J. S. Bach’s Christen ätzet diesen Tag (BWV 63) and J. S. bach’s Magnificat in E-flat major (BWV 243a); this permeation of the programme featured fewer performers to on account of the small stage at London’s Wigmore Hall. Performances took place at AMUZ in Antwerp on 18 December and at Wigmore Hall on 19 December.

The final part of the tour, with medium forces (larger than in London and Antwerp and fewer than in Hamburg, Rotterdam and Dortmund) featured the same programme as the first part of the tour (TWV 1:1451, BWV 63 & BWV 243), with concerts at the Muziekgebouw aan ‘t IJ in Amsterdam on Saturday 20 December, followed by a concert in the Teatro Comunale Pavarotti-Freni in Modena on Sunday 21 December and the final (video recorded) concert at the Teatro Grande in Brescia on Monday 22 December.
