Beckemeyer reprises his well-loved and dramatic interpretation of the Passion in Lafayette, IN with the Lafayette Master Chorale.

“John—as the Evangelist—has to experience the Passion in real time. Jesus, as the rabblerouser he is, was probably questioned by the police countless times during His time on Earth. The moment turns when Jesus is taken before Pilate and the Passion is like watching a car crash in slow motion for John and the rest of the 12. Bad becomes worse becomes tragedy and what starts out like any other Jewish holiday night turns into the greatest story ever told.”
