It is just two weeks until the second installment of our three-year Passion Project, J.S. Bach’s astonishing St. John Passion. The boys of the Australian Boys Choir have been rehearsing tirelessly with Director Nicholas Dinopoulos, and the band and singers will come together soon to begin rehearsing Bach’s famed passion oratorio, based on the story of the crucifixion according to the Gospel of John. The words of British writer Robert Harris encapsulate one of the most powerful moments of this extraordinary work, unparalleled and with themes so relevant to today’s world:
Don’t miss this unique performance, bringing together the incredible energy of the young singers of the Australian Boys Choir, Genesis Baroque’s ensemble of some of Australia’s finest historically informed performers, and a lineup of magnetic soloists, all under the deeply sensitive, fiercely musical, scholarly direction of Nicholas Dinopoulos.
