Canticum – St John Passion
Music that combines raw human emotion, spiritual depth and transcendent beauty – JS Bach’s St John Passion is a journey through Christ’s capture, judgement and crucifixion. Grief, betrayal, hope and redemption are conveyed through some of the most powerful and moving music ever written.
This sublime work comes to life in a performance by chamber choir Canticum and period instrument ensemble Counterpoint. Whether religious or not, the Passion speaks to universal themes: the pain of loss, the struggle for forgiveness and the triumph of love.

A Taste of Heaven – 6pm
The Holy Trinity Consort presents a French-Swiss celebration - written in secret and hidden in a drawer for forty years, Frank Martin's Mass for Double Choir is now treasured as one of the twentieth century's great choral discoveries. After the interval, Fauré's sublime Requiem: music of consolation, from the radiant Pie Jesu to the whispered farewell of In Paradisum. We are delighted to welcome Läderach as our partner for the evening, and premium-ticket holders will enjoy an exclusive tasting of their exquisite Swiss chocolate. Candlelight, chocolate and glorious music - an evening to savour at Holy Trinity.
