Our world-renowned musicians and performers will present an elaborate and exciting program on Sunday. Maestro Bruno Weil will be conducting one of the most dramatic and brilliant pieces of music from the Baroque era. St. Matthew's Passion is perhaps the most important, challenging and ambitious of all the music composed during the Baroque period. Bach's transcendent masterpiece has been compared through cultural impact to the Sistine Chapel paintings, the Divine Comedy by Dante, and the great cathedrals of Central Europe.
