St. John Passion

"St. John Passion" J.S. Bach
Co-presented and performed by Choral Arts Philadelphia
Aaron Sheehan - Tenor (Evangelist)
Sumner Thompson - Bass
According to Robert Schumann, The St. John Passion stands out as his greatest choral and orchestral works in the Western musical tradition. It has extraordinary dramatic content, choral writing and is more "unbridled" immediate in its expression and style. Our production will feature an exciting lineup of soloists, the Philadelphia Bach Collegium, and a choir of forty singers from Choral Arts, accompanied by an orchestra of period instruments. This promises to be the choral event of the Season!
