St Matthew Passion

Bach's St Matthew Passion is one of the most powerful and moving expressions of the Passion of Christ. Bach Choir Holland performs the St Matthew Passion under the direction of Gijs Leenaars with international soloists and the renowned B'Rock Orchestra from Ghent, playing on historical instruments!

There are two evening concerts (1 in Lochem and 1 in Delft) and an afternoon concert. The Good Friday concert in Delft consists of two parts with a long lunch break in between. The church opens to the public one hour before the start of each performance.
