Thank you to everyone who joined us at Winchester College Chapel on Good Friday to celebrate the 300th anniversary of Bach’s St John Passion. Bach Winchester Voices performed a haunting and dramatic musical depiction of the Passion of Christ, as told in the Gospel of John. It really was a stunning event. Grateful thanks to Jon Newman for organising the programme. The music was directed by Andrew Hayman, with Sebastian Hill as Evangelist, Alex Bower-Brown as Jesus and Benjamin Watkins as Pilate. Incredible period musical instruments were played by Musica Poetica. Photos from the event can be found in our Fundraising gallery. Thank you to Boots Opticians, Eastleigh and Sarah Saunders Davies for generously sponsoring the event and to VitEyes for covering the printing costs of the programme.
