NSO: Music for Good Friday: James MacMillan’s St. John Passion

The Irish premiere of a Good Friday Passion for our times: James MacMillan’s St. John Passion, hailed by Rowan Williams as ‘a landmark for contemporary music’.

Echoes of Latin motets, Gregorian chant and Bach chorales can be heard alongside Scottish folk accents in a striking, modern re-telling with Christ portrayed by Seán Boylan, and the Evangelist byChamber Choir Ireland, with the National Symphony Chorus giving voice to other roles in this dramatic story.
