大象传媒

An evening of music and reflections for Good Friday presented by Katie Piper.

Katie Piper hosts music and poetry to mark the day that Jesus died, recorded at the 大象传媒鈥檚 Maida Vale studios. The Kingdom Choir will perform arrangements of a number of popular anthems including Heaven Help Us All, Fix You, Lean on Me and Something Inside So Strong. Wildwood Kin bring their contemporary folk sound, with performances of The Valley, The Crown, Never Alone and Beauty in your Brokenness. There鈥檚 also music from St Martin鈥檚 Voices and the 大象传媒 Young Chorister of the Year, Ruby, and Runner Up, Mila.

The story of Jesus鈥� crucifixion will be told using poetry and spoken word, written and performed by incredible writers including Paul Cookson, Dai Woolridge, Imogen Ball, Poetess Jess, Laura Darrall and Tremont Deigh. They will explore the grief and emotion felt by the main characters in the crucifixion narrative through a modern lens. The complexities of grief and the emotions it provokes: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance are present throughout the story of Jesus鈥� crucifixion.

Katie hears deeply personal stories from people who live with grief and how their faith has enabled them to find hope for the future.
