The Swiss ensemble comes with a hand-picked ensemble of singers for two concerts: Bach’s Easter celebration of exactly 300 years ago.

In 1725 Bach fitted his St John Passion into the project of his choral cantata publication year. Thus large-scale choral pieces sat at the beginning and the end, three new arias increased the drama of what was taking place.
A rarely-heard edition of the well-known work!

The wonder of Easter night is celebrated against three very different Easter cantatas from the same year which Bach arranged with attractive contrasts: the darkness of doubt meets the light of belief, it is literally a matter of life and death.
