1. Admire the St Matthew Passion in the Nieuwe Kerk

This Easter, you can admire Johann Sebastian Bach's famous oratorio 'the Matthäus Passion' in the Nieuwe Kerk. As in previous years, this will be a beautiful performance by Bachkoor Holland together with the Concertgebouw Chamber Orchestra, international soloists and the children's choir of Academy of Vocal Arts. Highly recommended!

The concert, led by conductor Gijs Leenaars, will take place on Maundy Thursday 2 and Good Friday 3 April.
