- **Event Name**: Mattheusarpassían
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 18 Mar, 2027 at 07:00 pm (+00:00)
- **Event Description**: Það er ekki á hverjum degi að ráðist er í flutning á þrekvirki J. S. Bachs, Mattheusarpassíunni, en árið 2027 verða 300 ár liðin frá frumflutningi hennar. Sinfóníuhljómsveit Íslands flytur nú þetta stórvirki tónlistarsögunnar ásamt fjölda einsöngvara og kóra undir stjórn Benedikts Kristjánssonar. Benedikt er okkar fremsti túlkandi á söngtónlist Bachs og eftirsóttur sem slíkur um gervalla Evrópu. Hér leiðir hann hljómsveitina auk þess að syngja hlutverk guðspjallamannsins. Með Benedikt koma fram margir af okkar fremstu söngvurum ásamt einvalaliði erlendra einsöngvara. Þrír kórar taka þátt í flutningi þessa mikilfenglega verks, sem tekur um þrjár klukkustundir í flutningi. Þetta eru tónleikar sem enginn tónlistarunnandi getur látið framhjá sér fara.

It's not every day that a performance of J. S. Bach's great feat, the St. Matthew Passion, is undertaken, but in 2027 it will be 300 years since its premiere. The Iceland Symphony Orchestra will perform this masterpiece of Western music, accompanied by a number of soloists and choirs under the direction of Benedikt Kristjánsson. He is Iceland’s foremost interpreter of Bach's vocal music and is sought after as such throughout Europe. Here, he leads the orchestra in addition to singing the role of the evangelist. Benedikt will be accompanied by many of Iceland’s leading singers, along with a select group of foreign soloists. Three choirs participate in the performance of this magnificent work, which takes about three hours to perform. This is a concert that no music lover can afford to miss.
