Every year for more than a century, the Netherlands Bach Society has performed one of Bach's most popular works: the Matthäus Passion. This year the ensemble is led by Hans-Christoph Rademann, a true Bach conductor who is always looking for a new approach. 

Betrayal, condemnation and death, but above all, love. Although the text of St Matthew's Passion is centuries old, its story and message are still relevant today. And Bach's magisterial music continues to touch, year after year. With Rademann, Bach's masterpiece is in good hands. This true Bach man - founder of the Dresdner Kammerchor, artistic director of the Bachakademie Stuttgart and a regular at the international music festival Bachfest - seeks a contemporary, new approach to each performance of St Matthew's Passion. Always with careful attention to the monumental nature of the work. For decades he has been one of Germany's most successful choral conductors. All the more reason to invite Rademann.
