Bach's St. Matthew Passion
Every Easter, we invite you to experience what is widely regarded as one of the greatest masterpieces of Baroque sacred music. St. Matthew Passion is sorrowful and introspective, while Messiah is triumphant and celebratory—a true Easter story in classical music form.
Historical Background: The first performance of the piece was given at the Leipzig Thomaskirche on Good Friday of 1727, but Bach substantially revised his greatest, most complex liturgical work in 1736, and the Tahoe Symphony presentations are based on that version. The St. Matthew Passion, in this form, was his last major composition for the Leipzig congregations.
