St John Passion
Southbank Centre, Queen Elizabeth Hall, SE1 8XX , [Venue Details]Conductor Johanna Soller channels emotion, energy and intelligence in Bach’s soulful passion, in her London debut with the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment.
Repertoire
- Bach: St John Passion (performed in German, with surtitles)
The St John Passion is the earlier of Bach’s two surviving settings, although not necessarily his first work in the genre. A more intimate work than the St Matthew Passion, it distils Jesus’ suffering and sacrifice into a more direct narrative.
In 2023, Johanna Soller became the Music Director of the Munich Bach Choir and Bach Orchestra, the first woman to hold the position in its history.
Tonight she makes her London debut, and leads an outstanding cast of soloists, including former and current Rising Stars of the Enlightenment James Way, Helen Charlston, and Jonathan Hanley, and BBC Music Magazine Rising Star (2022) Hilary Cronin.
