| Set List | The Story of the Crucifixion Told Through Five Centuries of Music |
| Performance Notes | A journey through five centuries of Western classical music in an afternoon with the BBC Singers and Swedish-French choral director Sofi Jeannin.
Together they tell the familiar Passion story as youve never heard it before, moving from the earliest-known responsorial setting by Johann Walter (14961570) through Passion music by Schütz, 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 tonights complete performance of Bachs St John Passion.
There was no interval.
