Coinciding with Palm Sunday, the Bach Choir presents J.S. Bach’s Saint John Passion, a profound and stirring account of Christ’s final hours. Anchored in the text of the Gospel of Saint John, this sacred masterwork is heralded for its unbridled emotional immediacy and compels us all to deep reflection, reverence, and awe.

GRAMMY Award-winning Tenor Dann Coakwell, a compelling voice and vivid storyteller who performed on the Bach Choir’s Saint Matthew Passion premiere, will return to Bethlehem as the Evangelist. Soaring choruses, contemplative arias, and dramatic recitatives combine to form one of Bach’s most intense and intimate pieces, an enduring testament to sacrifice, and, ultimately, hope.

Soloists:
Dann Coakwell – tenor (Evangelist)
Jonathan Woody – baritone (Jesus)
Katelyn Grace Jackson – soprano
Aryssa Burrs – mezzo-soprano
