About the concert

Great music needs a great choir. Bach's St Matthew Passion is a musical drama about the Passion of Christ and contains some of the most heartfelt and beautiful choruses! We are therefore really looking forward to collaborating at this concert with NDR Vokalensemblet, which is simply one of the best there is. The St Matthew Passion combines magnificent choral sections, heartfelt arias, vivid recitatives and chorales. Bach creates an emotionally charged musical journey from the Last Supper to the Crucifixion, where each aria and chorale comments on and interprets the events. The result is one of music history's most moving passions - a work that unites theological depth, drama and an almost otherworldly beauty. Programme: J.S. Bach / St Matthew Passion
