Johann Sebastian Bach’s St John Passion is among the most powerful works of sacred music. With its dramatic intensity, theological depth, and emotional immediacy, it has for centuries been inseparably linked to the tradition of Good Friday.

Performing this masterpiece on such a significant day lends the concert a unique spiritual dimension: music and liturgical moment merge into an intense experience of silence, reflection, and inner contemplation. Within the atmosphere of the Minoritenkirche, Bach’s Passion unfolds its full expressive power—timeless, deeply moving, and profoundly affecting.

This production is presented with the kind support of Dr. Gunther Jaegers.
