    Programme

    Overview

    Bach’s ‘Great Passion’, first performed in Leipzig on Good Friday in 1727, presents an all-encompassing musical meditation on the agonising drama and profound meaning of Christ’s crucifixion. John Butt’s Dunedin Consort and a superb team of soloists are set to unlock the intimate expression of sorrow and majesty of this peerless work of sacred art.
