Saint Matthew Passion Groupies
Many music historians believe that Bach's Saint Matthew Passion is the greatest piece of music ever written. My husband and I agree so much so that we drove to Durham, North Carolina to see it performed at Duke University Chapel.
We were wowed with the North Carolina Symphoney, the 150-person chorus, and the wonderful soloists. The moving choral work recreates the passion of Christ.
We have tickets to see it performed in Washington, D.C. at the Kennedy Center on Good Friday afternoon. Helmut Rilling is conducting and we are looking forward to another outstanding performance.
