The English Concert: St Matthew Passion

Our period-instrument partner orchestra, The English Concert, perform Bach’s St Matthew Passion under the baton of its Artistic Director, Harry Bicket, in celebration of the work’s 300th anniversary year. One of Bach’s most admired compositions, St Matthew Passion is an oratorio setting of chapters 26 and 27 of the Gospel of St. Matthew, which detail the last days of Christ’s life. This powerful and moving work showcases The English Concert’s visceral, stylistically informed interpretation of Baroque repertoire.

If you would like to stay for supper afterwards, an informal buffet-style meal will be served in the café after the performance at shared tables. The two-course menu is £40 per person and includes a glass of house wine.
