SUMMARY:J.S. Bach’s St. John Passion
DESCRIPTION:Bach’s St. John Passion Comes to Carmel and Santa Cruz in Intimate Chamber Performances \nThis April\, the Central Coast Chamber Choir (C4)\, the chamber ensemble of I Cantori di Carmel\, presents J.S. Bach’s St. John Passion under the direction of Daniel Henriks. Performed with a chamber choir and an ensemble\, these concerts bring Bach’s dramatic retelling of the Passion story into a more immediate and human scale. The result is direct\, present\, and deeply sincere. \nTwo performances will take place:\nSaturday\, April 25\, 2026 at 7:30 PM\nAll Saints’ Episcopal Church | 9th Street & Dolores Avenue | Carmel \nSunday\, April 26\, 2026 at 7:30 PM\nCalvary Episcopal Church | 532 Center Street | Santa Cruz \nTickets are available at www.icantori.org \nAbout the piece:\nRather than presenting the work with large forces\, C4 approaches the St. John Passion at a more intimate scale. This allows the text and music to come forward with clarity and immediacy\, placing the listener closer to the unfolding story. \nUnder the direction of Daniel Henriks\, the performance reflects a deep engagement with both the musical structure and the human drama of the work. A conductor with a background as an international opera singer\, Henriks brings a strong sense of narrative\, pacing\, and vocal understanding to this repertoire. \nThe performance features a cast of distinguished soloists:\nSteven Caldicott Wilson (Evangelist)\, praised by The New York Times for his “powerful\, polished and moving” interpretation.\nMorgan Balfour\, soprano\, recently featured with the San Francisco Symphony and known for her luminous tone and expressive range.\nGabriela Estephanie Solís\, mezzo-soprano\, an in-demand interpreter of Baroque repertoire with major early music ensembles.\nMatt Peterson\, baritone\, is recognized for his commanding presence and versatility on both operatic and concert stages. \nThey are joined by the Central Coast Chamber Choir and a baroque ensemble drawn from Central Coast musicians\, performing on period instruments. This ensemble reflects a growing focus on historically grounded performance practice within the region.
