J.S. Bach: St John Passion
Adelaide Chamber Singers / Sydney Chamber Choir
Australia
“...intense, transfixing and elevating”
The Australian
Two of Australia’s finest chamber choirs, Adelaide Chamber Singers and the Sydney Chamber Choir, join forces with a chamber orchestra of leading Baroque musicians from Adelaide and Sydney and some of Australia’s best young emerging soloists to present two performances of Bach’s monumental setting of the Passion of Jesus Christ according to St John.
Intensely dramatic, moving and meditative by turns, Bach’s undisputed masterpiece was highly original and audacious in its day and vividly retells the story of Christ’s final hours and crucifixion.
