St Peter’s Singers’ presentation of Music for Good Friday is an annual event, given by kind permission of Leeds Minster. It provides an opportunity to hear one of the great works of the sacred oratorio repertoire in a context than a concert hall performance on a Saturday evening cannot provide, and at a price that more people can afford.

Past works receiving performance include:

• Bach’s St John Passion
• Bach’s B Minor Mass
• Handel’s Messiah
• Brahms’ German Requiem
• Dvorak’s Stabat Mater
• Haydn’s Stabat Mater

This may be free of charge on Good Friday, but you are advised to check this with the City authorities. There is also a large NCP car park next to Leeds Markets on the other side of the railway.
