WRITERS

"Here is classical music that breaks new ground. The Bible has always inspired great artistic expression, but this fresh, contemporary libretto and score carry that inspiration to a new generation. Derek Wensley and David Perkins are to be applauded for this work."

- Luke Walton (Arts Development Officer, Bible Society)
