Behind the scenes at the Haags Matrozenkoor

Bam! Bach's Matthäus Passion is an explosive spectacle with many wow moments, according to the boys of the Hague Matrozenkoor. The collaboration between the Residentie Orkest and the Haags Matrozenkoor has existed since 1935, which makes it extra special. For the boys it is great to make music on a professional level. Making music together is fascinating and can move people to tears. We took a look behind the scenes at one of the rehearsals.

"There is nothing better than making music together, and you don't find that out until you do it."

- Leander Schoormans - music teacher Haags Matrozenkoor

The story that grips and transports every time: the St. Matthew Passion, a moving tribute we perform every year in the week before Easter.
