THE CHOIR OF WESTMINSTER
ABBEY
The Choir of Westminster Abbey is
joined by leading orchestra The English
Concert for this Holy Week performance
of Bach’s powerful Matthäus-Passion
(St Matthew Passion), sung in German.
They will perform at Westminster Abbey
on 31 March (18.30).
Members of the Abbey Choir and
renowned soprano Anna Dennis sing the
solo parts in this sacred oratorio, telling
the story of the last days of Jesus as he
is betrayed, tried, crucified and buried.
The Choir of Westminster Abbey is
known worldwide as one of the finest
ensembles of its type, its repertoire
extending from plainsong and
Renaissance polyphony to twentiethcentury masterpieces and new
commissions. In addition to singing the
daily services, as it has done since the
fourteenth century, the Choir plays a
central role in the many royal and state
occasions which are held in the Abbey,
most recently the State Funeral of Queen
Elizabeth II and The Coronation of King
Charles III and Queen Camilla.
‘A choice performance... an
extraordinary range of expressive tone.’
– The Guardian
