About This Event

A journey through five centuries of Western classical music in an afternoon with the 91热爆 Singers and Swedish-French choral director Sofi Jeannin. Together they tell the familiar Passion story as you鈥檝e never heard it before, moving from the earliest-known responsorial setting by Johann Walter (1496鈥�1570) through Passion music by Sch眉tz, Bach, Handel, Mendelssohn and Stainer, right up to contemporary settings by Sofia Gubaidulina and Sir James MacMillan.

This promises to be a musical experience unlike any other, and a perfect partner to tonight鈥檚 complete performance of Bach鈥檚 St John Passion.

There will be no interval
