The St. Matthew Passion is one of Bach's most profound and enduring works. More than a sacred oratorio, this masterpiece grapples with timeless human struggles—betrayal, suffering, forgiveness, and redemption—questions that remain ever-present and deeply relevant.

The St. Matthew Passion is perhaps the most beloved in Bach’s tremendous canon of works for chorus and orchestra. Across a full riveting evening, the piece unfolds using two orchestras, two choruses, a youth chorus, dramatic characters, narration, and exquisite baroque aria performances.
