Bach's Saint‐John Passion in Paris: Choeur de Paris
Paris, Eglise de l'Oratoire du Louvre — Main Hall
About the Event
“St John Passion” by Bach epitomises the dramatic intensity and spiritual depth of the Baroque repertoire. A true pinnacle of musical expression, this Passion powerfully portrays the final moments of Christ, weaving together heartbreak, hope, and transcendence.
Under the pen of the Leipzig master, every note becomes a prayer, every silence breathes human emotion. This is not merely a work: it is a spiritual experience, a sonic fresco where pain, faith, and light merge in striking dramatic intensity.
The voices of the soloists, among the most remarkable in today’s Baroque scene, will bring the biblical text to life with rare sincerity and power.
Under the musical and artistic direction of Till Aly, Les Muses Galantes—an outstanding Baroque ensemble renowned for its artistic rigour—joins forces with the soloists and choir to deliver an authentic and vibrant interpretation.
Finally, to offer a truly living, vibrant, and heartfelt performance, the Chœur de Paris will sing from memory, moving in a staging designed to accompany the narrative.
An unforgettable experience, where the performers’ excellence and the emotional power of a masterful work will leave a lasting impression. “St John Passion” is much more than a concert: it is a plunge into the heart of human emotion, a meeting point between art, faith, and humanity, guided by the timeless genius of Bach.
