Bach’s St. John Passion
On Palm Sunday, the Cathedral Choir once again turns to the uniquely moving St. John Passion. This masterwork tells the story of Christ’s betrayal, death, and resurrection, vividly and affectingly pointing to the deepest meaning of the Passion.
The Washington National Cathedral Combined Choirs and Baroque Orchestra perform under conductor Michael McCarthy.
The concert runs just shy of 2 hours.
