J.S. Bach - St Matthew Passion

J.S. Bach - St Matthew Passion BWV 244

Join us on Good Friday as we perform one of sacred music’s greatest masterpieces. First performed on Good Friday 1727, this is the more reflective of Bach’s Passions. The Matthew Passion is an emotive journey of Jesus’ final days. Written for two orchestras and two choirs, the power of the music is so immediate, that regardless of one’s belief, the music has a lasting universal impact.

Start time – 4.30pm. There will be a break 5.45pm. The concert will restart at 7.30pm and finish at c.9.15pm.
