St Matthew Passion: Matthäus Passion, BWV 244 Bach,JS

The Bach Choir’s annual performance of Bach's St Matthew Passion, sung in English, is a much-anticipated fixture in London's musical calendar.
The St Matthew Passion is a dramatic telling of the Passion of Christ, which features some of Bach's most beautiful and poignant chorales, alongside rousing and striking choruses.

This is a work that The Bach Choir is renowned for performing annually to an exceptionally high standard.
