Bach's St Matthew Passion

The Bishop's Consort

The Bishop’s Consort and Singers perform J.S. Bach’s deeply moving masterpiece, the St Matthew Passion, on period instruments and directed by David Stancliffe. Whatever one’s religious beliefs, the miracle of the St Matthew Passion lies in Bach’s ability to reach out beyond the Biblical story and offer empathy to anyone who has felt loss, grief, guilt, betrayal and love.
