She is joined by the BBC Concert Orchestra, conducted by James Burton, a chorus of singers from across London, BBC Radio 2 Young Chorister of the Year Helena Paish, soul singer Louise Marshall and winner of The Voice 2014 Jermain Jackman. These forces combine to create a poignant and inspiring programme of music including well known hymns and spirituals, choral classics and pieces from popular British composers, culminating in a full performance of John Rutter's Requiem.

The warm, rich voice of actor, Patrick Robinson brings the events of the first Good Friday to life with readings and poems telling the story of Jesus' last hours and also reflecting on the sacrifice made by those who died on the battlefields of World War I.
