Johann S. Bach, St Matthew Passion, BWV 244

Undeniably one of the most challenging and daring works in the Western musical canon, Bach’s musical masterpiece is also among the most sublime expressions of humanity’s religious devotion and spiritual testimony. Profound theological and mystical symbolism, dramatic biblical narrative, and psychological insight transcend the roots of 18th-century Lutheran liturgical music to create a testament to conscience, compassion, courage, acceptance, and hope.

This timeless musical meditation of epic proportions will be brought to life by leading local musicians alongside a distinguished ensemble of international soloists. The Megaron Chamber Choir, winner of the Kathaumixw 2025 in Canada, under the direction of the exceptional conductor and internationally renowned composer Damijan Močnik, joins forces with the Megaron Baroque Orchestra, an ensemble specialising in historically informed performance practice.
