‘A Meditation on the Sacred Passion of the Holy Redeemer’

The English Chamber Choir’s engaging performance of Stainer’s portrayal of The Passion, is preceded by a rare performance of a modern choral classic in Vidi Aquam, a forty-part a capella motet by James Macmillan.

Fresh on the heels of recent performances at The Royal Albert Hall, Barnes Festival and Buckingham Palace, ECC is joined by acclaimed vocal soloists Martin Hindmarsh (tenor) and John Holland-Avery (bass). The much-praised organ is played by Andreana Chan, one of the finest young organists of her generation.

The concert will run without interval.
