Johann Sebastian Bach St Matthew Passion, BWV 244
Beginning in 2022, the Glasgow Bach Cantata Project is an exciting venture aimed at bringing the glory of J.S. Bach’s 200+ cantatas to Glasgow. The project is bringing together student, professional and amateur musicians (including many current and past RCS students). Everyone involved in the project gives their time free of charge to raise funds for Glasgow charities involved in alleviating poverty. We are currently raising funds for the 200 year old Glasgow City Mission.
This performance of Bach’s glorious St Matthew Passion will be directed by Michael Bawtree, and features Louise Martyn as a soloist alongside Ross Cumming, David Lee, Parker Millspaugh, Philip Scott (evangelist) and Andew Neill (Jesus). The ripieno choir is drawn from pupils at Kelvinside Academy.

Together with members of the Tesseris quartet and guest singers, we perform a varied recital of works including Vaughan Williams's On Wenlock Edge. This free recital will take place at the Edinburgh Society of Musicians, located at 3 Belford Rd, Edinburgh EH4 3BL.
