This special performance commemorates the 300th anniversary of the premiere of *The St. Matthew Passion*, one of J.S. Bach’s greatest masterpieces and a landmark in choral music. Featuring Ton Koopman, a master of early music, as conductor, the NHK Hall will resound with the exceptional choral performance of the Amsterdam Baroque Choir under his direction, a stellar lineup of soloists, and the fresh, vibrant voices of the Tokyo Boys’ and Girls’ Choir. We invite you to experience a truly special moment befitting this historic milestone, as Koopman—who knows Bach inside and out—presents his interpretation of this grand narrative, which can be considered part of humanity’s musical heritage. Please come to the venue to enjoy the meticulously crafted musical structure and a moving performance that fully expresses human suffering and compassion.
