SUMMARY:Saint Matthew Passion
DESCRIPTION:Tickets for the May 13 performance are available at Packer Memorial Church starting at 3pm.\nPart 1 • 4pm\nPart 2 • 8pm\nThe Bach Choir of Bethlehem\, Bach Festival Orchestra and distinguished soloists\n\nONE TICKET is good for both Part 1 and Part 2 of this performance.\nTickets ordered after May 8 will be held at WILL CALL for pick up prior to the concert. \n\nThis year’s Festival includes two of Bach’s towering choral masterpieces\, Everest and K2\, alongside one another.  The Saint Matthew Passion is cosmic\, operatic in its scope\, making use of three choirs\, two orchestras\, and a wealth of soloists\, and yet\, moments of stunning intimacy shock listeners with their equal power and beauty.  From an opening chorus making use of all of the forces\, choirs crying back and forth in dialogue\, while the Bel Canto Youth Chorus will crown the whole with the great chorale\, “O Lamb of God\,” to the hovering trio of wind instruments accompanying a tearful soprano in the time-stopping aria\, “Aus liebe”\, this work of extraordinary complexity and power goes straight from Bach’s heart and mind to those of listeners. \nThe Saint Matthew Passion was composed for use at the Thomaskirche on Good Friday\, 1729. Bach used the entire Passion story as it appears in the Gospel of Matthew in Martin Luther’s German translation of the Bible. \nPlease note: Patrons are required to wear a mask while indoors. Vaccination against Covid-19 is strongly recommended for all guests attending Bach Choir performances.  \nThroughout the season\, we will continue to monitor the news surrounding COVID-19.
