Johann Sebastian Bach | St. Matthew Passion, BVW 244

*Please note the earlier start time for this event*

Johann Sebastian Bach’s St. Matthew Passion is perhaps the most beloved in his tremendous canon of works for chorus and orchestra. Across a full riveting evening, the piece unfolds using two orchestras, two choruses, a children’s chorus, dramatic characters, narration, and exquisite baroque aria performances. The full scope of Bach’s unmatched talent for marrying compositional complexity with profound emotional expression come together to tell the timeless story of the Passion narrative.
