The Philharmonia Chorus will be performing the St John's Passion by James MacMillan in King's College, Cambridge, with Mark Stone (baritone), the Choir of King's College, Cambridge, and the BBC Concert Orchestra conducted by Stephen Cleobury in the Chapel of King's College, Cambridge on Friday, 2 April, Good Friday. James MacMillan's St John Passion is a large scale, dramatic presentation of the passion story. It is scored for two choruses - a Narrator Chorus (to be sung by the Choir of King's College, Cambridge), and Large Chorus (Philharmonia Chorus). King's College Cambridge will be the perfect setting for the work, and this will be the culmination of this year's Easter at King's in which MacMillan's music features strongly. The performance will be broadcast live on BBC Radio 3, and this will be work's first broadcast performance.
