Experience the timeless and deeply moving story of the St Matthew Passion. Walk alongside Jesus Christ in his final days, journeying with him through betrayal, suffering, forgiveness and redemption. Johann Sebastian Bach's St Matthew Passion is a poignant tribute we perform annually in the week before Easter. It's one of the composer's longest and most complex compositions, rich in symbolism and musical splendour.

Emily Akkermans, Curator of Time at Royal Museums Greenwich (including the Royal Observatory), introduces us to the life and work of John Harrison. In the week that marks the 250th anniversary of his death on 24 March 1776, we will get an insight into the story of Harrison’s remarkable quest over several decades to solve the problem of telling the time at sea, considered the most important scientific challenge of the 18th Century.

From Heavenly Harmony: Acis & an Ode!

Smith Square Hall

The unspecified occasion may have been a wedding as the chorale upon which it is based was a well-known wedding song in the city. The result is a work in which Bach challenges his singers and instrumentalists: the opening fantasia is followed unusually by no less than four arias (and no recitatives) for the quartet of vocal soloists with impressive solos for flute and oboe d’amore.

Bach, the Universe & Everything: February 2026

The first cantata of the new season sets us on the well-trodden trajectory from forgiveness to hope. First performed in Leipzig on 15 October 1724 (the 19th Sunday after Trinity), Wo soll ich fliehen hin displays Bach’s fondness for symmetrical structures and also features a rare appearance from the tromba di tirasi – the slide trumpet.
