‘Show us the way to healing’

Our presentation of Music for Good Friday this year, which was to feature the second performance of Matthew Oglesby and Hannah Stone’s brilliant new Requiem Penthos, has regrettably been postponed due to the Covid-19 outbreak.

Once the future becomes clearer, we will fix a new date for the second performance of Penthos.

In the meantime we wish every music-lover good physical and mental health in these troubled times.

“There was a palpable momentum to Good Friday’s deeply moving performance given by the St Peter’s Singers and the National Festival Orchestra… The vocal line was impeccably counter-balanced by the rich sonorities of the instrumental ensemble.”

“As to be expected, Orchestra of Opera North and St Peter’s Singers deliver the goods with ease and are truly terrific in bringing the narrative into a new and perfect realm.”
