SUMMARY:BACH’S St. Matthew Passion (Chicago)\, 300th Anniversary of the L
 eipzig Premiere
DESCRIPTION:Apollo’s Fire and conductor Jeannette Sorrell are thrilled to
  return to Bach’s most legendary masterpiece on the 300th anniversary of
  its premiere in Leipzig (1727). In this dramatic presentation\, the singe
 rs in the character roles (Jesus\, Pilate\, etc) interact with each other\
 , singing from memory. The GRAMMY®-nominated chorus Apollo’s Singers is
  joined by children’s voices to create a sense of communal gathering in 
 Sorrell’s interpretation. British tenor Ed Lyon\, fresh from major succe
 sses at London’s Covent Garden\, steps into the role of the Evangelist a
 s an animated storyteller.\n“Jeannette Sorrell led a revelatory performa
 nce [of Bach’s St. John Passion]\, with impassioned singing and playing 
 bring Bach’s score to life with contemporary immediacy.” – Opera New
 s\nPRE-CONCERT CONVERSATION with the artists\, hosted by Robbie Ellis of W
 FMT\, 45 minutes before each performance.\nFeatured Artists\n\nEd Lyon\, t
 enor (Evangelist)\nNathaniel Sullivan\, baritone (Jesus)\nCarine Tinney\,
