Netherlands Bach Society — St Matthew Passion
A nostalgic, slow-burn baroque night.
Around Easter, the Netherlands Bach Society returns with Bach's St Matthew Passion, an annual tradition that continues to impress. In this monumental narrative, Bach weaves chorales, arias, and choral parts into a poignant musical drama. The Bach Society's clear, historically informed approach reveals the emotional layering and spiritual power of the work. This performance brings together stillness and intensity in one of the most impressive compositions in music history.
