Bach's St. John Passion
After December's sold-out performance of Handel's Messiah, the Burlington Baroque Festival Singers are returning to Hudson with L'Harmonie des saisons, Montreal's Juno Award-winning period instrument orchestra. With internationally-acclaimed vocal soloists, River Valley Baroque is thrilled to present this urgent, human, and thrilling performance at Christ Church Episcopal.
The Burlington Baroque Festival Singers have presented thirteen sold-out performances of baroque masterworks since their founding for the First Annual Burlington Baroque Festival in 2023. Works presented by the vocal ensemble have included Bach's St. John Passion, Bach's Magnificat, Handel's Ode to St. Cecilia, Purcell's Welcome to All the Pleasures, Charpentier's Te Deum and Magnificat, and Monteverdi's Vespers.
The performance of Messiah will feature extraordinary vocal soloists of international renown:
Helene Brunet, soprano (Montreal)
Nicholas Burns, countertenor (Vancouver)
Philippe Gagné, tenor (Quebec City)
Sumner Thompson, baritone (Boston)
William Kraushaar, bass (Montreal)
The baroque orchestra, festival chorus and soloists are all directed by Juno Award-winning conductor and recording producer Eric Milnes.
“Among New York’s choruses, few could have shown up for work as confidently and so well-prepared as under Eric Milnes’s direction. He achieved a remarkable fineness...” - Bernard Holland, THE NEW YORK TIMES
Bach’s work is a powerful, emotional gateway into the drama of Holy Week, offering a deeply moving experience.
