BACH’S ST. MARK PASSION
The two productions will enable the Hong Kong audience to experience this major work by a composer often thought of as the “Father of Classical Music” in two very different ways: the Bach Choir and Orchestra presentation will be a concert version using a relatively large choir and orchestra, with modern instruments playing at modern pitch, while the July offering by SingFest will be staged and will employ a chamber choir and instrumental ensemble playing on “period” instruments, using lowered pitch.
Each performance has some claims to “authenticity,” as Bach’s own performances of his Passions were unstaged “dramas of the imagination” given in churches, but used small ensembles (perhaps even only one or two singers per part) and, obviously, instruments of his own day.
Soloists in the Bach Choir performance are tenor Stephen Ng as the Evangelist, baritone Caleb Woo as Jesus, as well as soprano Stefanie Quintin and mezzo-soprano Samantha Chong
