Edington Arts: Ten Years Old this year!

About

Experiencing “the power, the tenderness, the beauty, the ferocity of music”* in wonderful surroundings is one of life’s greatest and most fulfilling pleasures.  Edington Arts brings small scale, high quality musical performances of all kinds to the Priory Church in Edington, Wiltshire, offering memorable concerts in the welcoming atmosphere of a beautiful environment already well known as an international music venue.

The Oxford Bach Soloists are one of the leading UK interpreters of the choral works of J.S.Bach. Each Lent, they perform the St John Passion on Good Friday; this year we are honoured and delighted to welcome them back to Edington to perform the Passion, with full orchestra, on the Saturday before Palm Sunday. 

The story is told by The Evangelist, a key role and one that demands not just a beautiful voice, but a profound  understanding of the narrative content in both words  and music. We are privileged to have the international tenor Mark Padmore to sing the role in what will be a deeply moving account.
