Bach St John Passion – Palm Sunday – 6:30pm
Bach St John Passion, Palm Sunday, 2nd April, 6:30pm:
Come and hear Bach’s musically mesmerising and spiritually moving work, a dramatic musical depiction of Christ’s arrest, trial and crucifixion, sung by Holy Trinity’s professional singers, choral scholars, the excellent “choral evensong” choir, and newly formed “chorale” choir, with internationally acclaimed tenor, James Gilchrist, as Evangelist, and HT's very own James Hobson as Jesus, accompanied by members of London’s leading early music ensembles, led by Alison Bury, directed by Max Barley.
The performance will finish at about 8:30pm. Tickets: Nave £20; rear Nave and lady chapel £15; under 18s £10.
If you would like to join the ‘chorale’ choir for the performance – the more the merrier – please email Max -music@sloanechurch.org – and this will enable you a “ring-side” seat at the performance!
