In this follow up to A Boy Called Alex, Alex Stobbs, a teenage music prodigy with cystic fibrosis, embarks on another ambitious adventure. Now 19, Alex is a student at Cambridge University. His cystic fibrosis is steadily getting worse, and yet against incredible odds, he is about to conduct one of the world's most famous choral works, Bach's St. Matthew Passion in front of an audience of a thousand in one of London's top concert halls. It will be as much an endurance test as a musical challenge.
