The Passion story is told for the first time from the perspective of Judas Iscariot in a new work for the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment: The Judas Passion.

Sally Beamish, who is a member of Glasgow Meeting, has composed the music and she explains that her Quaker background played an important part in her thinking when she approached the commission.
