St Matthew Passion on Good Friday

The Melbourne Bach Choir and Orchestra conducted by Rick Prakhoff return after the trials of the pandemic to bring you into the light with a mini-festival of Bach and more.

The tradition of Good Friday concerts continues with J.S. Bach’s much loved St Matthew Passion. Robert Macfarlane plays the role of the Evangelist together with Adrian Tamburini as Jesus and an exciting group of soloists. The orchestra will again be led by Madeleine Easton, Director of Bach Akademie Australia.

This extraordinary musical journey is the perfect reflection for Good Friday, in these extraordinary times.

The Passion will be sung in German.
