The Irish Baroque Orchestra and Choir invite you to join us in the collective act of listening, as we present Bach’s astonishing St Matthew Passion.

Sung in German, with a translation provided, this rendering of the passion story during Lent provides an all-encompassing experience which moves the heart and nourishes the soul.

“quite simply the most moving and high-level performance of Bach’s St Matthew Passion I’ve ever heard” David Nice (2024)

Presented in partnership with Cork Orchestral Society
