Hard luck if you didn’t win our competition – but tickets for the March 8 St John Passion concert are available – and Inside Croydon readers get a 10% discount. Scroll down for more details

Congratulations to Inside Croydon subscribers Adrian Ham, Sue Eardley and Moira O’Donnell, who have each won two tickets for the Fairfield Halls next Sunday, where the London Mozart Players will be performing JS Bach’s St John Passion.

Sunday March 8 will be the London Mozart Players‘ first concert at the Fairfield Halls of 2026.

Our three clever readers all knew the answer to our question – what is the other surviving Passion by Bach?

Correct answer: St Matthew Passion.

And their prizes are a pair of tickets each, each ticket costing £43.50, for next Sunday’s prestigious concert.

Prize competitions such as this are one of the benefits of supporting Inside Croydon’s independent local journalism.

And our winners are in for a rare treat: “St John Passion connects with our sense of universal humanity through music which is full of heartbreak, beauty and reflection,” the London Mozart Players say.

“Listeners can turn to Bach to make sense of suffering and find solace in a world that can be cruel.”
