A Meditation on the Passion of Christ (also known as the Lent Meditation Service) is a service of music and readings reflecting on the Passion of Christ. This year the service features music by, Bruckner, Byrd, Handel, Stainer, Wesley, Wills and Bach, as well as readings written by John Donne.
The choir celebrates the season of Epiphany with a candlelit service of readings, carols and hymns that tell of the coming of Christ, the Magi's visit, and the presentation in the Temple.
This webcast is the first service of the 2020/21 academic year, and the first Choral Evensong to be sung since 13th March. It therefore marks the end of an extraordinary period of silence in the Chapel's history, and the start of a very exciting, if challenging, new term.
Our latest soloist release on the 'St John's Cambridge' label features the former chorister and choral scholar Iestyn Davies with pianist Joseph Middleton
