Heinrich Schütz’ expressive setting of the Easter story predates Johann Sebastian Bach’s Passions by a century. Set for an evangelist, eight-part choir, four violas da gamba and continuo, it is a work of quiet intensity that quickly draws the listener into its introspective soundworld in which the evangelist binds together a rich patchwork of choruses and small ensembles. Helsinki Chamber Choir and the Finnish Baroque Orchestra Lähelle tours are supported by the Finnish Cultural Foundation.
In some of the concerts an Easter-themed piece will be sung by a local choir.
