In collaboration with the Philadelphia Bach Collective

Bach's St. John Passion

Compact & potent musical drama

A pillar of Baroque repertoire, Bach's St. John Passion offers an immediacy of emotional connection and a timeless message. Evangelist James Reese guides us through the Passion of St. John, recounting the events leading up to the crucifixion of Jesus. A tapestry of soloists offer reflections on the events in the voice of the people, those looking on feeling powerless to the events. We are excited to collaborate with the Philadelphia Bach Collective, and we look forward to performing for audiences in Philadelphia following our NYC premiere.

Meet Our Collaborators

The Philadelphia Bach Collective was created out of a desire to showcase the vast talents of Philadelphia musicians who specialize in music of the Baroque.

Philadelphia boasts a thriving community of internationally renowned vocal and instrumental early music specialists, but currently has no regular performance outlet for this repertory. The Philadelphia Bach Collective aims to serve our city by making the works of J.S. Bach available to all, as well as to nurture our musical community.
