Saturday – 12 April 2025 Time TBC
Venue: Steyning Parish Church.
The Hanover Band, one of Britain’s finest period instrument orchestras, returns to Steyning Parish Church to bring a special Passiontide performance of JS Bach’s seasonal masterpiece.
Telling the story of the Passion, the final days of Jesus’s life, is a tradition that dates back to the fourth century. This originally took the form of a liturgical chant, but during the sixteenth century, music and theology became tightly bound and from this time, the Passion began to be sung and performed in different ways. J.S.Bach’s St John Passion is a wonderful way to reflect on Good Friday and the approach of Easter Day.
