Yesterday evening, the Kalamazoo Bach Festival under the direction of Jim Turner performed the St. John Passion of Johann Sebastian Bach.
I’ve been looking forward to singing the St. John Passion for quite a while. Several times I’ve told Jim that singing one of the Passions was on my life list of things to do before I die.
I would say it was a good performance. You can read a review here. We had some great soloists. The venue, at Kalamazoo's First Presbyterian Church, has acoustics that made it difficult for the audience to hear all the words, even though we were singing it in English expressly so that our listeners could hear the story in their own language.
Obviously I don't have a recording of this performance to share (yet), but below the fold are a few YouTube clips.
