Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra, Nicholas McGegan, Conductor
Sally Beamish, The Judas Passion. US premiere. Can the ultimate betrayal ever be forgiven? Nicholas McGegan and a cast of international stars seek the answers in the US premiere of this co-commission with London’s Orchestra for the Age of Enlightenment, written for our period instruments and voices. Scottish composer Sally Beamish and librettist David Harsent explore Judas in a more sympathetic light—evoking questions of failing humanity, forgiveness and redemption. This provocative new Passion is accompanied by Georg Philipp Telemann’s Tafelmusik Suite No. 1 in E minor. Featuring soloists Mary Bevan, soprano; Brenden Gunnell, tenor; Roderick WIlliams, baritone; and the Philharmonia Chorale, Bruce Lamott, director.
