The St. Matthew Passion is one of Bach's most profound and enduring works. More than a sacred oratorio, this masterpiece grapples with timeless human struggles—betrayal, suffering, forgiveness, and redemption—questions that remain ever-present and deeply relevant.

Across a riveting evening, this tremendous piece utilizes two orchestras, two choruses, a youth chorus, dramatic characters, narration, and exquisite baroque aria performances, often in duet with solo instruments.
