Armonico Consort presents: St Matthew's Passion

Armonico Consort & Baroque Players | Evangelist - Nathan Vale | Director Christopher Monk| Christus - Alex Jones

J.S. Bach vividly, passionately, and dramatically brings to life the tale of the Passion of Christ according to Matthew, in what is perhaps the greatest of all the Passion settings and without doubt one of the finest choral works ever composed. Whatever your own spiritual beliefs, it is a work of genius, combining the most perfectly formed recitative and powerful choruses with beautiful arias in the most dramatic, almost operatic way.

Armonico Consort’s finest soloists, chorus and period instrumentalists will shine as they explore the intense emotions and humanity of the Passion of Christ as depicted in Bach’s masterpiece.
