An Easter Day Concert: St. Matthew Passion & Messiah (Tahoe City)
On Easter Sunday, the Tahoe Philharmonic Orchestra & Chorus will present two of the most profound spiritual masterpieces ever composed. The concert will feature a shortened version of Bach’s St. Matthew Passion in the first half, followed by selections from Handel’s Messiah, celebrating Christ’s triumphant resurrection.
Audiences will be moved by powerful choruses such as "Surely He Hath Borne Our Griefs", "All We Like Sheep Have Gone Astray", and "Why Do the Nations So Furiously Rage Together", leading to a breathtaking finale with "The Trumpet Shall Sound" and the iconic "Hallelujah."
The Tahoe Philharmonic Orchestra and Chorus is honored to present these sacred works during Holy Week, offering audiences an immersive journey through the Passion, Death, and Resurrection of Christ.
