Tom joins Ex Cathedra and Jeffrey Skidmore, where he is an Enhanced Student Scholar, for their annual Good Friday Performance of J.S Bach’s Passions.

Dramatic choruses place us at the heart of the story, while poignant solo arias and achingly beautiful orchestration explore the characters' emotional depth - and offer us space to pause and reflect. Three centuries after that first performance, it is a masterpiece that still speaks to us profoundly, regardless of belief.

We get closer still to the Good Friday traditions of Bach’s time with chorale preludes, motets, readings and communal hymns.

Sung in German with English surtitles.
Running time: 3 hours including a 30-minute interval.
