Bach: Matthew Passion 300

Bach’s Matthew Passion was first performed on Good Friday in 1727. Amidst the drama of betrayal, trial, judgment, and crucifixion, there runs a thread of love, both human and divine. 

Eight singers and two orchestras work together and apart to narrate, comment, and reflect on the last days of Jesus’ life. Join us this Eastertide to celebrate 300 years of this extraordinary work.
