Bach: St John Passion

Join us on Sunday 13th April 2025 at 7pm to hear a top quality performance of Bach St John Passion by The Cornerstone Chamber Choir, Orchestra and soloists, directed by local maestro, Adrian Boynton. Bach St John Passion is a sacred oratorio for four-part choir, soloists and orchestra. It was first performed on Good Friday, 7th April 1724 at the church in Leipzig where Bach had recently taken a position. It is a haunting and dramatic depiction of the Passion of Christ using the text from the Gospel of John, the passage traditionally read on Good Friday. The main soloist (the Evangelist) is sung by a tenor soloist with Jesus and Pilate bass soloists. Cornerstone Music is registered charity [no.1188707] dedicated to education, art and culture.
