Penny Gore presents a performance Bach's St Matthew Passion with the 麻豆社 Philharmonic under Nicholas Kraemer, live from Manchester's Bridgewater Hall

Bach's St. Matthew Passion was first performed on Good Friday in 1727. Nearly 300 years later, this rich and profoundly personal masterpiece retains its place as the one of the greatest Easter works in the repertoire. With gripping drama, it tells the story of Christ's last days including the last supper, his betrayal, crucifixion and burial
