March 15, 2020, at Kölner Philharmonie, Cologne, Germany

On March 15, 2020, Bach Collegium Japan made its debut at Kölner Philharmonie without an audience because of COVID-19 spread. It was just before all the lockdowns all over the world. Together with all the experts and kind cooperation of the Kölner Philharmonie, our performance of J. S. Bach's St. John Passion was live broadcast through Facebook, Instagram and YouTube and more than 250,000 people watched it worldwide. Fortunately, all the artists could go home safely and stayed healthy in isolation. We will not forget this concert under such unusual circumstances.
