Programme

JS BACH  St John Passion

About This Concert

An Eastertide performance of JS Bach’s seasonal masterpiece performed on Palm Sunday in the wonderful setting of St Nicholas Church, Brighton.

Telling the story of the Passion, the final days of Jesus’s life, is a tradition that dates back to the fourth century. This originally took the form of a liturgical chant, but during the sixteenth century, music and theology became tightly bound and from this time, the Passion began to be sung and performed in different ways.
