Listeners can turn to Bach to make sense of suffering and find solace in a world that can be cruel. Though the Passion might not have a traditional happy ending, Bach teaches us find peace and understanding through the promise of resurrection, rather than dwelling on the pain Christ endured. London Mozart Players, Resident Orchestra at Fairfield Halls, perform Bach’s monumental work under the direction of Thomas Allery from the harpsichord. Fairfield Halls, Croydon DD/MM/YYYY
