Join Festival Choir Flanders to perform the St Matthew Passion.

Join Festival Choir Flanders.

On March 13, 2027 in Drongen and on March 14, 2027 at 3:00 PM in Ronse, two performances of J.S. Bach’s St Matthew Passion are scheduled. The orchestra Cordae Lysis will be conducted by Ann Pareyn. For these concerts in Belgium, Kamerkoor Koriolis and Festival Choir Flanders will join forces and together form the choir.

Singers who wish to participate in this project through Festival Choir Flanders are required to audition. These auditions will take place on June 13 and 14, 2026 at GC De Merelaar (Gentbrugge). Registration is possible by selecting a time slot via the button below. When registering, please also indicate your preference for Choir 1 or Choir 2.

After a successful audition, you are expected to attend all rehearsals as listed in the rehearsal schedule below. Participation in the Belgian project costs €150 for singers of Festival Choir Flanders.

Join Choral Space Berlin.

This project is linked to the large-scale St Matthew Passion project by ChoralSpace in Berlin. From March 20 to 23, 2027, I will personally conduct a major performance there at the Philharmonie. The full schedule of this project can be found on the ChoralSpace website.

Participation in the Berlin project takes place through individual registration with ChoralSpace and is separate from the Belgian project. The registrations are therefore not linked. The auditions for Festival Choir Flanders apply exclusively to the Belgian project; no audition is required for participation in Berlin.

Those who wish to participate only in the Berlin project are expected to study the score independently and may not take part in the rehearsals in Belgium without commitment.
