Description
Ever the colossal achievement in devotional text-painting and prolonged emotional intensity, Johann Sebastian Bach's depiction of Christ's Passion story continues to reward listener and performer alike; while Musica Angelica has made an annual tradition of interpreting this masterpiece in Los Angeles, we are excited to offer (for the first time in recent memory) an additional production in Long Beach!
Bach’s St. Matthew Passion is widely regarded as one of the masterpieces of classical Baroque music, weaves voices and orchestra through magnificent oratorios and arias. Year after year, the St. Matthew Passion is still performed in major cathedrals and sold-out concert halls around the world - a testament to the intricate music’s powerful beauty.
Two Baroque orchestras will perform with a double choir and an award-winning cast of American and European vocal soloists. This thrillingly intense music will soar in the beautiful acoustics of the First Congregational Church of Long Beach to create an unforgettable musical experience.
Musica Angelica will host a reception in the FCCLB Courtyard before the concert.
