On Good Friday 3 April 2015, Brighton Festival Chorus returns to Brighton Dome for their 500th performance since their founding in 1968. This special “in the round” Proms-style performance of JS Bach’s glorious St John Passion is a return of the highly acclaimed, semi-staged version last performed in 2008 and 2009 and takes the singers in and amongst the audience. First performed in Leipzig on Good Friday 1724, Bach’s powerfully meditative interpretation of the Gospel of St John is a work of startling immediacy yet subtle nuance, recreating the psychological and emotional conflict of Christ’s final days before His public trial and crucifixion.
