MORE ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE

Bach’s musical setting of the Passion captivates the listener in a highly-charged spiritual and emotional journey. The drama of Christ’s betrayal by Judas and his tortuous treatment and trial under Pontius Pilate unfold with an irresistible momentum that has left listeners transfixed and awestruck for centuries.
