Schola Cantorum & Providence Baroque Orchestra: Bach: St. John Passion

J.S. Bach's St. John Passion performed by Schola Cantorum & Providence Baroque Orchestra led by Daniel Lee with Andrew Bearden Brown as the Evangelist.

Bach’s Passions were written for the Good Friday Services of the two principal churches in Leipzig early in Bach’s tenure, and were revised and performed numerous times in Bach’s life. This collaborative concert brings together two of the favorite ensembles of Museum Concerts, and features the rising young Tenor, Andrew Bearden Brown who made his debut as Evangelist with these groups in 2020. The John Passion shows Bach at his most dramatic with introspective Arias alternating with stirring choral movements for the crowd scenes.

Andrew Brown sings with “a carefully balanced interpretation of the Evangelist with deep expression and gravitas” —The Boston Musical Intelligencer
