Orchestra Lagrandt will be teaming up with the Tangram Chamber Choir to present the Johannes-Passion on 8 March 2026 at 15:00 in the English Reformed Church, Amsterdam (Begijnhof 48, 1012WV).
When the Passions of Johann Sebastian Bach were revived during the 19th-century, musicians often took on the task of adapting them to fit contemporary tastes. The most famous example being Felix Mendelssohn and his 1829 revival of the Matthäus-Passion, which, in many ways, put Bach's music back on the map for the Romantics. These performances explored changes to the instrumentation and performance style to expand the works in a grand context. In our own contribution to this powerful tradition, we are 'reviving' the Johannes-Passion in a late Romantic style with changes inspired by composers like Johannes Brahms and Gustav Mahler's fervent admiration for the music of J. S. Bach.
