Event description
New Zealand’s premier early music choir The Tudor Consort presents J S Bach’s monumental oratorio St Matthew Passion, accompanied by the Chiesa Ensemble and directed from the harpsichord by Music Director Michael Stewart.
This historically-informed performance will draw soloists from the choir in the manner in which the work was intended to be heard, alongside tenor Lachlan Craig as the Evangelist. The performance will be in German with English subtitles.
Join us for this powerful setting detailing the last days of Christ’s life, retold by solo voices, double orchestra and double chorus. Book today to hear this sacred choral work brimming with drama, performed by the region’s finest singers.
