Chilcott St John Passion by Candlelight
Saturday 29 March 2025
7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Join St Martin’s Chamber Choir for a moving performance of Bob Chilcott’s St John Passion.
Bob Chilcott’s setting of words from St John’s Gospel is a dramatic yet optimistic retelling of the Passiontide story. The work combines 13th and 17th century English poetry with King James Bible text settings and, as with Bach’s great Passion settings, the role of the Evangelist is taken by the tenor soloist, who provides a melodious narrative throughout.
This concert lasts one hour with no interval.
