Performance of Bach's St John Passion in Milton Keynes

Bach St John Passion is a sacred oratorio for four-part choir, soloists and orchestra. 

It was first performed on Good Friday, 7th April 1724 at the church in Leipzig where Bach had recently taken a position. 

It is a haunting and dramatic depiction of the Passion of Christ using the text from the Gospel of John, the passage traditionally read on Good Friday. 

The main soloist (the Evangelist) is sung by a tenor soloist with Jesus and Pilate bass soloists.
