Arvo Pärt's Passio at St Martin's Easter Festival
The centrepiece of St Martin's Easter Festival (which runs at St Martin-in-the-Fields from 7 to 18 April 2022) is a performance of Arvo Pärt's Passio on 12 April when Owain Park conducts the Gesualdo Six, St Martin's own choirs and members of the London Mozart Players.

The festival opens with Jeffrey Skidmore directing Ex Cathedra in music by Bach, Purcell, Lotti, Scarlattin and Monteverdi, whilst saxophonist Christian Forshaw joins forces with Tenebrae for an exploration of old and new entitled Drop, slow tears: A Meditation for Choir and Sax [see my interview with Christian]. Good Friday features a performance of Bach's St John Passion when Andrew Earis directs St Martin's Voices with […]

Great swathes have been lost, but much survives. Composers were largely local men, and texts would be pass around, taking different settings in each town. There are composers whose reputation nowadays rests on a single piece, if that. This is something of the back story to counter-tenor Jakub […]
