Orchestral parts. Study your part before you come. (Parts can be found at imslp.org.) Our Bärenreiter parts will be provided at the first rehearsal. After rehearsal, please ask before you borrow our parts. After the performance, leave your music on the stand. We reserve the right to deduct the cost of parts which are lost, damaged, or not returned.

Dress code. The dress code for the Passion is black for all players and soli. Men wear a black shirt and trousers (not evening dress/black tie). Ladies, a black dress to the knee or below.

Recording and photography. Students from the IAD may record the Passion for Holy Trinity. If your guests wish to record, we permit discrete recording as long as: (1) it is for your private use; and (2) the recording equipment is strictly not visible to anyone.
