Bach's St. Matthew Passion is deeply rooted in Dutch musical culture. This season, we bring this masterpiece to life with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra conducted by Klaus Mäkelä, and the Residentie Orkest under the baton of our chief conductor Peter Dijkstra.
St. Matthew Passion
With the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra
The Netherlands Chamber Choir had the honour of witnessing firsthand the promising collaboration between the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra and their new chief conductor. Mozart’s Requiem, led by Klaus Mäkelä, was a thrilling experience. Now, we join forces once again for Bach’s Easter masterpiece.
