SOUTH KOREA TOUR 2019
VENTURE TO SOUTH KOREA
In the spring of 2019 the Dudok Ensemble goes Korean! We are proud to announce three performances of the St. Matthew Passion by Johann Sebastian Bach in the great cities of Seoul, Busan and Daegu. The 85 musicians and chorists travel to South Korea on April 8, 2019, right after two performances in the Netherlands. We look forward to three passionate performances of the Passion in South Korea in the week before Easter. Traditionally the closing concert will be the day before Easter in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Next to the three concerts abroad, the ensemble will cooperate in an exciting Masterclass for young conductors at the conservatory of Daegu.

COMMITTEE
COMMITTEE OF RECOMMENDATION
We are proud to present our Committee of Recommendation. Great names from Music, Sports and Politics support the Dudok Ensemble and its passionate cultural mission to South Korea.
ST. MATTHEW PASSION
OUR PASSION
The St. Matthew Passion is widely regarded as the absolute masterpiece of sacred classical music. The magnitude of the work, both in duration of the piece and size of the ensemble, turns every performance into a passionate adventure for the audience as well as for the ensemble.
DUDOK ENSEMBLE
Ever since the emsemble's formal inception in 1999, the Dudok Ensemble has consistently built a reputable name for itself, by shaping a profound repertoire of interpretations from the baroque and classical period, right to the late romantic repertoire. The Dudok Ensemble appreciates the privilege of continuous cooperation with conductor Johan Rooze.
JOHAN ROOZE
OUR CONDUCTOR
Johan Rooze founded the Dudok Ensemble, back in 1999, and is a great inspiration for many musicians and chorists all over the world. After having moved to South Korea he comes to the Netherlands around Easter to conduct the yearly Dudok Ensemble performances of the St. Matthew Passion
