Diane Louise Jordan, the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Concert Orchestra and actor Stephen Tompkinson tell the story of Good Friday with Faure's Requiem, from Winchester Cathedral.
Winchester Cathedral is the inspirational setting this year for the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Concert Orchestra, choirs and congregation as they reflect on the story of the first Good Friday: the death of Jesus on the cross and the grief of his followers. Diane Louise Jordan introduces an evening of music At the Foot of the Cross with actor Stephen Tompkinson who joins her to describe the events of that day in reading and poetry. FaurΓ©'s Requiem with soloist Andrew de Silva is the main work alongside music from film, anthem and oratorio with well-known Good Friday hymns and traditional spirituals.
The ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Concert Orchestra, leader Charles Mutter, is conducted by Andrew Lumsden, Director of Music at the cathedral. The Waynflete Singers join Winchester cathedral choristers, ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 2 Young Chorister of the Year 2013 Luke McWatters and gospel group Tessera, directed by Ken Burton.
