The final word of our Bristol Baroque Festival must go to Bach, whose St John Passion began this celebration earlier in the month. For this finale we turn to another of his great devotional works, the St Mark Passion. Breathing life into the piece is the BBC Singers, hailed as one of the greatest choirs in the world. Expect a vivid and dynamic performance in what is a fitting denouement to the festival and the culmination of a week of thrilling live broadcasts from St George’s.
