View all →About This Event
Birmingham’s Symphony Hall is set to host a significant musical event on Good Friday in 2027, with Ex Cathedra presenting J.S. Bach's monumental St Matthew Passion. This performance is particularly noteworthy as it commemorates the 300th anniversary of the Passion's premiere, which took place in Leipzig back in 1727. Under the direction of Jeffrey Skidmore, Ex Cathedra aims to transport audiences back in time, meticulously recreating the sonic landscape and performance conditions of that very first rendition. The ensemble, renowned for its scholarly approach and sublime interpretations, will bring this profound work to life with a period-instrument orchestra and a distinguished cast of soloists. This promises to be an exceptionally moving and historically informed experience, offering a unique opportunity to connect with Bach's masterpiece as it might have been heard three centuries ago. Tickets for this highly anticipated concert are available now, with prices ranging from £15 to £58.
