ST. ALBANS CITY — Burlington Baroque will present Johann Sebastian Bach’s “St. John’s Passion” Friday, March 27, at Holy Angels Church in St. Albans.
The performance will feature the Burlington Baroque Festival Singers with renowned soloists and period instrument ensemble L’Harmonie des saisons.
Bach presented at least four different versions of the St. John Passion during his lifetime. Burlington Baroque’s performances will feature the rarely heard 1725 version in a regional premiere.
Directed by Eric Milnes, the Burlington Baroque Festival Singers are joined by L’Harmonie des saisons, Montreal’s Juno Award-winning period instrument orchestra, and internationally-acclaimed vocal soloists in presenting this stirring and profound musical journey through Christ’s final days.
Bach’s work is a powerful, emotional gateway into the drama of Holy Week, offering a deeply moving experience through its arias, choruses, and chorales. This sacred masterpiece is a momentous journey for both new and returning audiences.
The show will begin at 7:30 p.m. For tickets and information, please visit: www.burlingtonbaroque.org
