St. Matthew Passion in the New Church

Bach's St Matthew Passion is one of the most powerful and moving expressions of the Passion of Christ. From the first notes to the breathtaking final chorus, Bach, by playing with numbers and harmonizations, has loaded the entire score with numerous subtle symbolic references to the words of the Gospel of Matthew.

Bachkoor Holland performs the St Matthew Passion three times during two evening concerts and an afternoon concert. The concert on Good Friday consists of two parts with a long lunch break in between. The church is always open to the public one hour before the start.
