The director of music at St James, Warren Trevelyan-Jones writes “Ever since its first performance in Leipzig on Good Friday, 1724, J.S. Bach’s setting of the “St John Passion” has been a mainstay of the musical calendar in both concert hall and church. It recounts the harrowing last days of Christ and his journey to the cross through dramatic narrative and human reflection.” 

Soloists include Richard Butler, Sally-Anne Russell and Christopher Richardson.
