St John Passion
St John's Smith Square, St John's Church Smith Square, SW1P 3HA , [Venue Details]Join us and a line-up of top soloists for Bach’s masterful St John Passion at London’s Smith Square Hall.
Alessandro Fisher, Andrew Rupp, Julia Doyle, Catherine Backhouse, Ed Lyon and Jimmy Holliday with the Nonsuch Singers and the Nonsuch Baroque Players conducted by Tom Bullard, bring Bach’s depiction of Christ’s betrayal and crucifixion to the heart of Westminster.
One of Bach’s best-known choral works, the turbulent but ultimately hopeful St John Passion invites listeners to step into the dramatic story it relates. The Bach expert and Harvard professor Christoph Wolff writes: “Bach experimented with the St John Passion as he did with no other large-scale composition. The work accompanied Bach right from his first year as Kantor of St Thomas’s to the penultimate year of his life and thus, for that reason alone, how close it must have been to his heart.”
Three centuries after its first performance, we are very much looking forward to this very special evening.
