Thanks to the generous support of the The Self-Isolation Choir and under guest conductor Richard Gowers, we’re delighted to be performing Arvo Pärt’s mesmeric Passio Secundum Johannem - the Passion according to St John - at St Mary’s, Bourne Street.

This 70-minute setting of the Passion of Christ represents the peak of Pärt’s tintinnabuli style. Uniquely the role of the evangelist is sung by a quartet of singers, which combined with the sparse harmony and instrumentation (provided by the brilliant #ArchimedesEnsemble) creates a timeless and mesmeric effect.

Will it feel like 5 minutes or 5 hours to you? Come and see!
