J. S. Bach's St. Matthew Passion

A rare performance of Bach's powerful choral masterpiece

The University of Dayton Chorale joins us for a profound presentation of the St. Matthew Passion, Bach’s magnificent setting of Christ’s last days for double chorus, soloists, and double orchestra.

The crown jewel of choral music

Bach's St. Matthew Passion is life-changing. Ambitious. And the most significant choral composition in classical music. To perform it requires two choruses, two orchestras, nine solos, and an artistry potent enough to rise to the vigor of Bach's musical challenge.

To witness it is life-changing

For three hundred years, the Passion has moved audiences with its spiritual potency. It touches the heart, awakens the imagination, and renews faith. Standing as one of the pillars of sacred classical music, it is at once monumental and intimate, deeply sorrowful and powerful.

A rarely performed work of art

The Passion has graced Dayton only five times in 70 years. The production is monumental -- two choruses, two orchestras, nine solos, nearly all of the instruments of Bach's time, and a five-figure price tag. The magnitude of the work makes it rare to perform and rare to experience.
