St Matthew Passion | Basingstoke Choral Society

Widely regarded as one of the masterpieces of sacred choral music, this glorious work sung in the glorious setting of Winchester Cathedral promises to be indeed a glorious evening.Whether you love the composer, the work itself, the magnificent cathedral, Basingstoke Choral Society or indeed all four, we hope you will agree that this is a performance not to be missed. The choir will be joined by the New London Sinfonia and soloists; soprano Sophie Bevan, one of the world's finest baroque singers, countertenor Rupert Enticknap, a rising star in his field, Andrew Staples as the Evangelist, a role he has performed many times at the National Theatre to huge critical acclaim, charismatic Baritone John Lofthouse as Christus, and baritone Rupert Reid, soloist and member of the Monteverdi Choir.
