On Good Friday, St John Passion is being live-streamed from Bach’s church in Leipzig, Germany.

JS Bach’s St John Passion was performed for the first time on Good Friday, 1724, in the St Nicholas Church, Leipzig. This year, history is once again made with ‘Passion, proof against the pandemic’, a live-streamed chamber-music version of the work, performed beside Bach’s tomb in the city's St Thomas Church.

Four musicians and five singers are performing from the venue; additional singers are joining via videolink. For anyone who wishes to sing along, the sheet music for the chorales is available on the Carus-Verlag website. 

 

The concert is live at 3pm Central European Time.  

That's 9am Eastern, 8am Central, and 6am Pacific.
