Philippe Herreweghe

This season Philippe Herreweghe's long-term project will come to an end with the two great Passions of the Cantor of Leipzig: the Passion according to Saint Matthew and the Passion according to Saint John—two major works in music history and both of them monumental sounds. Herreweghe, a great champion of Bach, brings an interpretation of these works which is  articulate, transparent and transformative.

Under the baton of Philippe Herreweghe, the Collegium Vocale Gent will sing Bach’s St. Matthew Passion. A spiritual monument that has been consecrated as an essential work for many generations at Easter. This extraordinary musical journey encourages reflection on redemption, struggle and challenge, as well as betrayal and forgiveness, love and sacrifice, compassion and piety.
