About this event
What to expect
The Sunshine Coast's premiere vocal ensemble, Oriana Choir presents Johann Sebastian Bach's monumental St Matthew Passion. Under the baton of acclaimed conductor Kim Kirkman, this extraordinary performance featuring double chorus and double orchestra brings together the rich voices of Oriana Choir, the Sinfonia of St Andrews, a special appearance by the Sunshine Coast Youth Choir, and distinguished soloists Michelle Bull (soprano), Anne Fulton (alto), Liam Jackson (tenor), and Jason Barry-Smith (bass).
Bach's great work will be sung in English, allowing audiences to experience the unfolding story and emotional power of the text with an immediacy rarely possible in its original German. The timing is especially significant as 2027 marks 300 years since the St Matthew Passion's first performance in Leipzig in 1727 – three centuries of a masterpiece that has lost none of its extraordinary power to move, challenge and inspire.
Join them for an unforgettable afternoon of musical excellence, inspiration, and timeless beauty. For all the details visit oriana.org.au. For enquiries please phone.
