Easter 2026

Moving stories and magnificent music / March - April 2026

Easter stories are deeply moving. It is therefore no wonder that they have inspired magnificent music. From Gesualdo’s music for Holy Week to Buxtehude’s cantatas about the suffering of Christ. Works that come to life through the voices of Gesualdo Six and Voces Suaves. Bach’s St Matthew Passion is performed in two versions, for young and old. Joost Oomen and Pynarello tell a disarming story.
