J.S. Bach: St John Passion

About J.S. Bach: St John Passion

A special performance of J.S. Bach’s powerful masterpiece in the spectacular Paisley Abbey.

One of the most dramatic works in the choral repertoire, Johann Sebastian Bach’s St John Passion is a vivid and intensely moving portrayal of the Passion narrative and the Easter story, combining virtuosic arias, stirring choruses, and moments of profound reflection.

Under the direction of the inimitable George McPhee, Paisley Abbey Choir is joined by a lineup of stellar soloists and an orchestra made up of leading Baroque musicians from across the United Kingdom, drawn from ensembles including Dunedin Consort, Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, Academy of Ancient Music and English Baroque Soloists
