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.

Duration: 2 hours 45 mins (including interval). Please note, running times are approximate and subject to change.
