March 29th's St. John Passion marks the fifth time that Yannick Nézet-Séguin will have conducted the Bach Consort.
Bach Consort musicians and their faithful audience have been blessed. Yannick has led our Christmas Oratorio (twice), the B Minor Mass and last year's St. Matthew Passion.
The March 29th St. John Passion will complete the cycle.
Yannick Nézet-Séguin, Canadian conductor extraordinaire, has the musical world by the tail. In addition to his jobs as music director of the Rotterdam Philharmonic, principal guest conductor with the London Philharmonic and music director of his own L'Orchestre Metropolitan in Montreal, he is guest-conducting many of the leading orchestras of the world. A recent review from Berlin called him Das Wunder Yannick, a reference to the young Herbert Von Karajan. Here in Canada we've been bragging about him for years - now the rest of the world is catching up.
