We’re marking three hundred years to the day of the premiere of Bach’s St John’s Passion.

Maestro Leslie Dala returns to the SSO for this very special performance. Premiered on April 7th, 1724, Bach’s Johannes Passion has never before been performed with its full forces in Saskatoon.

Dramatic, immediate, and full of urgency, Bach’s music in the Passion still feels new 300 years later.
