About three hundred years ago, the first performance of the Matthäus-Passion took place in the Thomaskirche in Leipzig. With librettist Picander, Bach created a grand masterpiece for two orchestras, two choirs, a children’s choir, and soloists. The Matthäus-Passion is heard each year around Easter in hundreds of sold-out concert halls and packed churches. Jos van Veldhoven’s final Matthäus-Passion with ‘his’ Nederlandse Bachvereniging was praised by de Volkskrant for its ‘transparent sound,’ ‘dramatic moments,’ and ‘rhythmic performance.’

Once again, Jos van Veldhoven will bring his own selection of excellent soloists and additional instrumentalists. Experience the profound emotional impact of Bach’s brilliant depiction of Jesus’ passion, with beloved arias such as Erbarme dich and Aus Liebe. A narrative of betrayal, pain, death, forgiveness, and love.
