The season ends with a performance of J.S. Bach's St. Matthew Passion. One of the most influential works in all of music, our performance of Bach's masterpiece will take audiences immersively through modern stations of the cross. Our visiting artists will perform the bulk of the piece in a style close to what would have been heard in Bach's time. The visiting artists are brought to Russell in part with a grant from the Russell County Area Community Foundation.
