The Concert

Gareth Malone takes eight amateur singers and stages Bach’s St John Passion on the 300th anniversary of its first performance, alongside the BBC National Orchestra of Wales and the BBC Singers.

Now, all the hard work comes to fruition as performance day arrives, and it is time for Gareth and his eight new singers to put on the performance of a lifetime with a truly unique St John Passion at Cardiff’s Hoddinott Hall. Three of Britain’s finest soloists also perform – tenor Nicholas Mulroy as the evangelist, soprano and Bach specialist Julia Doyle, and baritone Roderick Williams, who sang at the King’s coronation, singing the role of Jesus.
