Programme Note
As part of the Cathedral’s programme of worship for Passiontide, Salisbury Cathedral Choir performs J.S. Bach’s St. John Passion, a masterpiece of sacred music that vividly tells the story of Christ’s Passion. Featuring an exceptional lineup of soloists, the renowned period-instrument ensemble Florilegium, and Salisbury Cathedral Choir under the direction of David Halls, this performance promises to be a profound and moving experience.
The St. John Passion is celebrated for its dramatic intensity, emotional depth, and exquisite beauty. Bach’s work draws the listener into the narrative of Christ’s betrayal, trial, and crucifixion with unmatched artistry.
