Elmhurst Symphony Concert: Bach's St. John Passion March 12
The Elmhurst Symphony, Apollo Chorus and soloists present one of the greatest musical experiences of all time: Bach's St. John Passion.
You are invited to join us for one of the greatest musical experiences of all time, Johann Sebastian Bach’s St. John Passion, when the Elmhurst Symphony Orchestra, Apollo Chorus of Chicago and a stellar cast of soloists, under the baton of Music Director and Conductor Stephen Alltop, join forces in one of the most dramatic and moving sacred pieces ever composed. “With the combined power of the ESO and the Apollo Chorus, along with five distinguished soloists who have devoted much of their artistic lives to this music, our listeners will hear a performance of utmost passion and musical excellence,” notes Maestro Alltop. The concert, a highlight of the season, takes place on Saturday, March 12 at 7:00 pm at the ESO’s home venue, Elmhurst Christian Reformed Church, located at 149 W. Brush Hill Rd in Elmhurst. The church has accessible parking and facilities; parking is free.
