Far East

The Freiburg Baroque Orchestra returns to Korea to present Bach’s St Matthew Passion under the direction of Francesco Corti. The work, which is unique in every respect, will be performed by an exquisite ensemble of soloists and one of the best choirs for baroque repertoire, the Zürcher Sing-Akademie. Another programme presents the internationally acclaimed violist Antoine Tamestit.

“This evening’s performance brought out the full diversity and artistic beauty of the St Matthew Passion.” (Bachtrack, 28 March 2023)
