History & Mission:

The foundation Cantate Domino is established in 1989. Its aim is to organize cultural liturgical events to promote the use of monumental churches. Each year six cantatas are performed in the Pieterskerk or the Hooglandse kerk, both built more than seven centuries ago in Leiden. The cantatas are usually composed by J.S. Bach. The performance of the cantatas is part of a religious service, as it was originally meant to, with readings from the Bible and a sermon. Entrance is free; at the end of the service a collection is held.
