Details

St John Passion on Good Friday.

Following Melbourne Bach Choir’s highly successful St Matthew Passion last Easter, MBC presents Bach’s St John Passion, for the first time performed by a small choir. Melbourne Bach Chamber Choir is joined by a superb group of soloists. Andrew Goodwin’s masterful narration as the Evangelist and Christopher Hillier’s moving Jesus frame the commentary of soloists Lorina Gore, Sally-Anne Russell, Henry Choo and Jeremy Kleeman. Rachael Beesley leads the orchestra with Rick Prakhoff on the podium.
