Vox Luminis and the Freigurger Barockorchester are possibly one of the most important choral and orchestral formations in the world in baroque music. Directed by Lionel Meunier, they face the most monumental musical work in history. A hard to beat combination.

The Passion according to Saint Matthew by Bach is a spiritual monument that has been consecrated as an essential work for many generations around Holy Week and that maintains its idyll with the Palau since it was the scene of its premiere in Spain more than a year ago. century. A fundamental part, even, of the seed of the Orfeó Català, year after year it brings together a faithful audience that always ends up believing in transcendence. An extraordinary musical journey that allows one to reflect on redemption, struggle and challenge, betrayal and forgiveness, love and sacrifice, compassion and mercy. A cornerstone of Western culture and our own heritage.

Talking about the Passion according to Saint Matthew is also talking about the recovery of ancient music; after Bach's death, the work fell into oblivion. It was the composer and also director Felix Mendelssohn who recovered the Passion in 1829 directing an abbreviated version and adapted to the aesthetic tastes of the moment. The reinterpretation of this work aroused, from its seeds, a great interest in the study of Bach's works. In Catalonia this recovery now took place more than a century ago in the Palau de la Música Catalana.
