First performed on Good Friday in 1724, The Passion According to Saint John is a work full of dramatic excitement, spiritual introspection, and devotional fervor. A baroque orchestra, including some of the Bay Area's finest players, helps perform this sacred masterpiece.

Soloists include tenor Brian Staufenbiel as the Evangelist, who narrates the story of the betrayal, suffering and crucifixion, and baritone Scott Graf in the role of Jesus.
