The St. Matthew Passion tells the story of Jesus‘ suffering and death as in the Gospel according to Matthew. It is a story that touches so many people: „It is actually a very contemporary story. It is about someone who stands up for others and has to pay for it with his life.“

The atmosphere of the music is very intense, dynamic, intense, oppressive and very moving, take the Erbarme dich, goosebumps. The music is balm for the soul. The story has such a beautiful internal power. The combination of the two makes it unparalleled. In Enkhuizen it does not stop with these two components, the space and acoustics of the Westerkerk give a very special dimension to the whole.

In this unique location, the musicians are even better able to convey the symbolism, emotion and comfort to you as a visitor. These musicians are the baroque ensemble and choir ‚Eik en Linde‘.
