Burlington Baroque, directed by Eric Milnes, presents Johann Sebastian Bach’s St John’s Passion featuring the Burlington Baroque Festival Singers and with renowned soloists and period instrument ensemble L’Harmonie des saisons.

Bach presented at least four different versions of the St. John Passion during his lifetime. Burlington Baroque's performances will feature the rarely heard 1725 version in a regional premiere. Directed by Eric Milnes, the Burlington Baroque Festival Singers are joined by L'Harmonie des saisons, Montreal's Juno Award-winning period instrument orchestra, and internationally-acclaimed vocal soloists in presenting this stirring and profound musical journey through Christ’s final days. Bach’s work is a powerful, emotional gateway into the drama of Holy Week, offering a deeply moving experience through its arias, choruses, and chorales. This sacred masterpiece is a momentous journey for both new and returning audiences.
