Bent Sørensen: Johannespasjonen

World premiere of Bent Sørensen's Johannespasjonen in its entirety, commissioned by the festival. The work is composed for five voices and five strings, and is performed in two parts. The first part was premiered in 2025, while the second part receives its premiere at this concert. Tonight's premiere is conducted by Christian Eggen instead of Paul Hillier due to acute illness.
