Melbourne Bach Choir
J.S. Bach – St John Passion


An Easter tradition continues.
Melbourne Bach Choir conducted by Rick Prakhoff continue their tradition of Good Friday concerts with a performance of J.S. Bach’s great St John Passion. Christopher Watson sings the role of the Evangelist, with Christopher Hillier as Jesus. They are joined by a superb group of soloists – Jacqueline Porter, Sally-Anne Russell, Timothy Reynolds, Jeremy Kleeman and Simon Meadows, and by the fabulous Melbourne Baroque Orchestra.
Sung in German, this profound, dramatic, and moving work is a perfect reflection for Good Friday.
