NICK APPEARS ON WQXR'S CARNEGIE HALL LIVE BROADCAST

For the 10th consecutive season, Carnegie Hall and WQXR proudly unite to present Carnegie Hall Live, a series of exciting broadcast concerts drawing upon some of the finest live performances from Carnegie Hall’s stages over the past nine years.

This week's episode of Carnegie Hall Live features a 2012 recording of Bach’s St John Passion performed by the the choir La Chapelle de Quebec with Canadian ensemble Les Violons du Roy, conducted by founder Bernard Labadie.

For some people, all of Bach’s music is sacred, but you can safely say that Bach wrote the music you're about to hear for church. In 1724, Bach composed The St John Passion for the Good Friday service during his first year as Cantor of the Thomasschule at Thomaskirche in Leipzig, Germany.
