Ad Mosam BaroqueExternal venue - Sint-Petruskerk Sittard
A moving and hopeful concert about courage, sacrifice and the quest for freedom.
With powerful choruses, intimate arias and comforting chorales, Bach reveals the struggle between good and evil in the St John Passion. Let yourself be touched by the penetrating music and experience how Bach makes themes such as love, sacrifice and freedom audible. Ad Mosam Baroque performs this programme together with student choir Intonacatore and soloists.
Still relevant
The St John Passion recounts the last days of Jesus; his suffering, arrest and condemnation. Christ appears as a charismatic figure who evokes admiration and preaches tolerance, but is confronted with injustice and hatred. Almost cinematically, every chorus, aria and chorale in St John Passion narrates a part of the events with intensity and emotion. The music takes you on a journey from suffering to hope. A timeless story that is still relevant today.
