Come and sing highlights from Bach's dramatic oratorio, St John Passion. Depicting the biblical story of Jesus' crucifixion from the gospel of St John, Bach takes us on an emotional journey from the anguish and suffering of Jesus to the bewilderment of his followers and the anger and hatred of the crowd.

Our Festival Conductor Neil Ferris says: “I love the St. John Passion. I find it very powerful and moving - in a different way entirely to the monumental St. Matthew Passion. I can’t wait to spend a day sharing the wonderful choruses and chorales in the St. John, truly heart-rending and also life-affirming.”

This fabulous event is one of the main fundraisers for the Leith Hill Music Festival and is open to all singers.

The day will culminate with an informal performance of selections from the piece to which friends and family are welcome to come along at 4.00pm (please purchase a £5 audience ticket when booking your place).
