Scottish composer James MacMillan has been invited to participate on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of Pope Benedict XVI as a priest. The celebration will be on 19 June.

His composition Tu Es Petrus, which was performed at the Pontifical Mass at Westminster Cathedral in September last year, during the visit of the Holy Father to the UK, will be played on the occasion.
