While you're all debating whether Bach's St. Matthew Passion is or isn't the single greatest piece of music in the Western canon (SPOILER:  probably), I'll just note that these are hands down the most promising performances of it in New York this Eastertide.   TENET is New York's splendid hometown Baroque vocal ensemble -- and here they're backed by an outstanding local Baroque instrument band, The Sebastians.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  Let's not overthink this.  Nearby, open after the show -- and absolutely delicious?  Pintxos at Txikito.
