Unfortunately, this concert has already taken place. But not to worry! We will be playing many more concerts soon.
Every year around Easter, several performances of Bach's oratorio are held in the Pieterskerk Leiden. The Pieterskerk delights in increasing attention: from all over the country, enthusiasts, including Prime Minister Rutte and other politicians from The Hague, come to Leiden to enjoy this highlight of musical history in the beautiful setting of the Gothic church.
In 2022 the Netherlands Chamber Choir, the Residentie Orkest and the Haags Matrozenkoor will perform the Matthäus at the invitation of the Pieterskerk Leiden. The Netherlands Chamber Choir has been a household name for over 80 years and has been at the world's top for decades. With the Weihnachtsoratorium the Netherlands Chamber Choir made the last three years a furor in the Pieterskerk Leiden: the concerts drew full houses and garnered praise from press and public. The renowned Residentie Orkest proves that symphonic music is also in the 21st century for a large and wide audience of great significance. Everything is conducted by Peter Dijkstra, chief conductor of the Netherlands Chamber Choir.
