About this concert
After a century of performance history, Bach’s Passion music and the Netherlands Bach Society are inseparable. What the next hundred years have in store? More of that mastery, also in broader explorations. The mission of Shunske Sato and his faithful followers to bring alternative Passion repertoire into the limelight starts with a pasticcio of works by the Thomaskantor himself.
The compiler of the pasticcio Passion Wer ist der, so von Edom kömmt was particularly well informed about recent developments in music. Compositions by Graun, Telemann and Johann Sebastian Bach together form a wonderful score that Bach himself probably performed in Leipzig.

About the performers
Founded in 1921 to perform Bach’s St Matthew Passion in the Grote Kerk in Naarden, the Netherlands Bach Society has over the past century grown to become a leading vocal-instrumental ensemble of national and international significance. In 2018 violinist Shunske Sato was appointed artistic director of the society. The whole of Bach’s oeuvre for everyone: that is the mission of the Netherlands Bach Society. The video project All of Bach, among other things, was created in that context.
Shunske Sato is the artistic leader of the Netherlands Bach Society, as well as concertmaster of Concerto Köln. Since 2013 he has been a faculty member of the Conservatorium van Amsterdam. He has performed as soloist with prominent American, European and Japanese orchestras and has many CD recordings to date, including the world’s first recording of Paganini’s Caprices on a historical instrument. Born in Tokyo, Shunske immigrated to the US at the age of four. He studied at the Juilliard School in New York, Conservatoire National de Région in Paris and Hochschule für Musik und Theater in Munich. His teachers include Dorothy DeLay, Gérard Poulet and Mary Utiger.
