Lightning and thunder crash around us, voices clamor from all sides. We're bombarded with questions and complaints. In Bach's St. Matthew Passion, two choruses and orchestras cry out "Crucify him!" from the galleries of St. Thomas Church, immersing us in the scene. Amidst the mockery, individual compassion shines, a heart-wrenching duality of love and pain. The Passion gives voice to human suffering. Where the world is out of joint, where old church values crumble before cardinal sins and the pursuit of capital, where struggles for world explanations and divine favor fuel wars, Bach's counterpoint makes dissenting voices heard, offering solace and reconciliation.

The most valuable prize in music competitions is always the amazed and participating audience. This was no different 75 years ago, when the Bach world commemorated the 200th anniversary of the composer's death and the Bach Competition was held for the first time in Leipzig, the site of the central celebrations. Brahms, a connoisseur and admirer of Bach's music, paid homage to it in various ways. Honegger's Symphony No. 2, written during the occupation of Paris in 1941, reflects the composer's distress over the world war. The finale, infused with Bach-like polyphony, culminates in a trumpet fanfare and a chorale melody radiating hope and reconciliation.
A Black Box in theater is a simple, usually square, black-walled performance space. Its simplicity allows for diverse stage and audience interaction configurations.
