About This Event

Offering a powerful depiction of Christ's passion, thePassio Secundum Johannemmay well be Bach's most inherently dramatic setting of the story. Urgent, surprising and beautiful, Bach's masterpiece is celebrated as much for its moments of joy as for its depictions of suffering. As a complete work, it stands as a vivid musical celebration of human feeling, evoking the joy and sorrow of our pilgrimage on earth. Joined by two outstanding solo interpreters, Yorkshire Baroque Soloists bring this to life with vivid, colourful playing.
