Good Friday St John Passion
More Info Book TicketsFri 2 Apr 2:00pm Symphony Hall
This year Symphony Hall develops the long tradition of its Good Friday passion performances by turning to Bach’s St John Passion. Enduring in its emotional appeal, there are few who remain unmoved by the glorious music. BBC Music magazine’s Editor Oliver Condy explains why he has recommended tonight’s concert: _“In a world that often recognises Bach’s St Matthew Passion as the composer’s greatest choral work, his St John has a tricky time getting a look in. But the St John contains some of Bach’s most colourful and emotional music ... this concert will make for a poignant Good Friday.”_
*Ex Cathedra Soloists, Choir and Baroque Orchestra* *Jeffrey Skidmore* _conductor_ *Jeremy Budd* _Evangelist_ *James Rutherford* _Jesus_ *Greg Skidmore* _Pilate_ *Grace Davidson* _Soprano_ *Matthew Vennr* _Alto_ *Samuel Boden* _Tenor_

Mass in B Minor
More Info Book TicketsSat 1 May 7:30pm Town Hall
Bach’s epic setting of the Mass is the equal of anything he composed, but is less often performed than his Passion settings. A tremendously powerful piece, it demands exceptional virtuosity and stamina from the performers - and will be greatly anticipated by them.
*Ex Cathedra Choir and Baroque Orchestra* *Jeffrey Skidmore* Conductor *Julia Doyle* Soprano *Mark Chambers* Alto *Matthew Venner* Alto *Christopher Watson* Tenor *Greg Skidmore* Baritone *Edward Grint* Bass
