The Passion According to St John: Théâtre des Champs‐Elysées
About the Event
Take part in a cherished Easter tradition, as Louis‐Noël Bestion de Camboulas conducts the Ensemble Les Surprises playing out the final days of Christ through Bach's evocative music.
Musical depictions of the Passion of Christ are a Lenten tradition dating back to the earliest days of Christianity. Bach's two surviving examples — St. Matthew and St. John — with their rich polyphony and musical drama, are considered the apogee of the genre.
