MUSIC

GOSPEL ACCORDING TO BACH The first music director emeritus of the New York Philharmonic, Kurt Masur, conducts the Philharmonic in four performances of Bach’s “St. Matthew Passion,” composed in 1727. Bach’s masterpiece includes text culled from two chapters in the Christian Bible’s Gospel of Matthew and 28 short poems by Picander, one of Bach’s primary librettists.

MUSEUMS

WONDER BREAD The exhibit “Bread/Lechem: Photographs by Margalit Mannor” focuses on a recycling tradition in Israel in which stale bread is collected from bakeries and turned into cattle fodder on some contemporary Israeli farms. A Jewish man who had fled a Polish ghetto is said to have started the practice in 1943. The Hebrew words beit and lechem — reminiscent of the word “Bethlehem” — together mean “Home of Bread,” and the title of the exhibit evokes the phrase. Selections from the exhibit include “Bread/Lechem” (2007), above.

Through Sunday, April 27, Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, 11 a.m.–5 p.m., Yeshiva University Museum, 15 W. 16th St., between Fifth and Sixth avenues, 212-294-8330, $8 general, $6 students and seniors, free for children and members.
