The Passion

"The Passion" isn't a band or musical artist in the traditional sense. It's a large-scale Dutch musical event, broadcast live on television annually around Easter. It's a modern retelling of the story of Jesus' last days, using popular Dutch songs performed by well-known Dutch singers and actors. Each year, the production takes place in a different city, drawing massive crowds and reaching millions more through the broadcast. Think of it as a huge, open-air musical with a contemporary twist.

While the performers change yearly, the core story remains the same. Recent titles you listed like "Adem Je In," "Zolang Je Bij Me Bent," and "Geloof" are examples of the popular Dutch songs reinterpreted for the performance. "The Passion Hemelvaart 2024" refers to the Ascension-themed edition of the event in 2024. So, while you can find recordings of these songs from "The Passion," there isn't a consistent "band" behind them. It's more about the collective experience and the annual retelling of a timeless story.
