Join host Miguel Rodé to learn more about the historical context and musical style of Bach’s St. John Passion. This session will deepen your appreciation of Bach’s artistry and give you an opportunity to engage in discussion with fellow music lovers. Miguel is a Baroque flautist and the creator of Cantata Trail, a popular series of workshops associated with the Seattle Bach Festival and Whidbey Island Music Festival. Both of those festivals are created by Tekla Cunningham, concert master of Victoria Baroque’s St. John Passion performance. Victoria Baroque is delighted to collaborate with these Pacific North-Western musical friends.

One of Bach’s two surviving Passions, the St. John Passion translates the story of Jesus’ trial, betrayal, crucifixion, and death on the cross into magnificent music.

Bach’s legendary oratorio is again being performed by the choirs of Christ Church Cathedral and the Church of St John the Divine, led by David Stratkauskas with Victoria’s beloved Ben Butterfield as Evangelist. While the performance is in the lead up to Easter, this concert experience is an opportunity to hear one of the season’s greatest works performed by the city’s finest musicians. Enjoy a sneak peek of this concert’s program notes here.
