Bach: St John Passion

5:00pm – Emmanuel College Chapel

On the final Sunday of the Lent Term, the College Choir was joined by Cambridge Baroque Camerata and Simon Wall (Evangelist) for a performance of one of Bach’s great masterpieces, with other solo roles being taken up by members of the choir.

Written in his first days as Director of Music at St Thomas's, Leipzig, the St John Passion is the earliest of the surviving Bach Passions, recounting the 18th and 19th chapters of the Gospel of John, the biblical passage traditionally read on Good Friday.
