Newcastle Bach Choir - St Matthew Passion

2009-03-15T09:10:00.000-07:00

Bach's incomparable masterpiece, with a top class line-up of soloists.

Charles Daniels, Evangelist, Stephen Varcoe, Christus
Mhairi Lawson, Clare Wilkinson, Daniel Auchincloss, Jonathan Gunthorpe

with Newcastle Baroque

conducted by Eric Cross

Since its first performance in Leipzig on Good Friday 1727, Bach's St Matthew Passion has become one of the pinnacles of the choral repertoire, largely a result of its successful revival by Mendelssohn in Berlin in 1829. The work's intricate design, mixing the Passion story narrated by the tenor Evangelist with dramatic choral crowd scenes, individual responses in the solo arias, and communal reflections in the chorales, creates a moving meditation on the events leading up to Christ's death. Several of the country's leading early music singers, along with a double orchestra of period instruments, join the Newcastle Bach Choir and local Youth Choir the Pongos for a memorable reflection on the Easter story.

Tickets £24, £19, £14, £8, concessions (£2 off for Senior Citizens, half price for students and unwaged) will be available from The Sage Gateshead Box Office, 0191 443 4661
