A Sacred Easter Celebration: Bach’s St. Matthew Passion & Handel’s Messiah

On this very special Easter Sunday, the Tahoe Philharmonic Orchestra and Chorus invite you to experience two of the most profound musical expressions of faith: Bach’s St. Matthew Passion and Handel’s Messiah.

Johann Sebastian Bach’s St. Matthew Passion stands among the greatest masterpieces of sacred choral music. Composed in 1727 for Good Friday services in Leipzig, this monumental work brings to life the Gospel of Matthew’s account of Christ’s betrayal, trial, and crucifixion. In this concert, we present a specially curated portion of The Passion in the first half, drawing listeners into the solemnity and reflection of Christ’s ultimate sacrifice.

Following a brief intermission the Easter story continues with selections from Handel’s Messiah, celebrating Christ’s triumphant resurrection. Beloved choruses such as “Surely He Hath Borne Our Griefs”, “All We Like Sheep Have Gone Astray”, and “Why Do the Nations So Furiously Rage Together” lead to a glorious conclusion with the iconic “Hallelujah.”

The Tahoe Philharmonic Orchestra and Chorus is honored to present these sacred works, inviting you to reflect on the Passion, Death, and Resurrection of Christ through the power of music.

Join us for this deeply moving journey of faith, devotion, and redemption.
