Immerse yourself in the vibrant rhythms and cultural fusion of Osvaldo Golijov's "La Pasión según San Marcos," presented at the Edinburgh International Festival. This groundbreaking work, commissioned to mark the 250th anniversary of Johann Sebastian Bach's death, offers a transformative interpretation of Christ’s crucifixion, blending Latin American and Afro-Cuban musical styles with contemporary classical expressions. The performance features an eclectic mix of texts, from Old Testament extracts to modern Spanish poetry, all under the baton of internationally acclaimed conductor Joana Carneiro.

Soloists from jazz, popular, and classical backgrounds will add depth to this compelling narrative, supported by the Dunard Fund.
