St. Matthew Passion

Posted by Illuci (Hurdegaryp, Netherlands) on 21 March 2008 in Lifestyle & Culture.

Today is Good Friday, the day Christians celebrate the passion and death of Jesus Christ. The emotions this evokes are in no deeper way interpreted than in Johann Sebastian Bach's St. Matthew Passion. I attended this choir and orchestra performance in the Jacobskerk in Leeuwarden. You see the boys of the Leeuwarden Boys Choir assisting the other choir down them (not visible here) and the orchestra, all under conduction of my colleague Harm Witteveen. Tomorrow you'll see more.
