St Matthew Passion by the Netherlands Bach Society

St Matthew Passion by the Netherlands Bach Society
Featuring Hans-Christoph Rademann and Olivia Vermeulen

For over a century, the Netherlands Bach Society has performed one of Bach’s most cherished masterpieces annually: the St Matthew Passion. This year, conductor Hans-Christoph Rademann takes the helm at de Doelen in Rotterdam, bringing his distinctive vision to the timeless work. Known for his deep affinity with Bach, Rademann is a conductor who continually seeks fresh perspectives while remaining faithful to the music’s spirit.

The St Matthew Passion tells a story of betrayal, condemnation and death—but ultimately, love. Though written centuries ago, its message remains strikingly relevant. Bach’s music, monumental and moving, continues to resonate deeply with modern audiences. Rademann, who also leads the Dresdner Kammerchor and is artistic director of the Bachakademie Stuttgart, is renowned for his detailed and inspired interpretations. With decades of experience and acclaim across Europe, he returns to de Doelen for what promises to be a profoundly stirring performance.
