Holy Week is a historical and liturgical journey, which begins and ends on two mountains surrounding Jerusalem: the Mount of Olives, where Jesus gathered the disciples on Palm Sunday, and the ‘green hill far away, without a city wall’, where Jesus was crucified at Golgotha. This specially curated programme navigates through the various sites of Holy Week before concluding with a handful of The King’s Singers signature close harmony arrangements.
