St Fin Barre’s Cathedral Choir will perform John Stainer’s The Crucifixion on Good Friday, 3rd April at 8pm. The work will form the evening liturgy that day in St Fin Barre’s Cathedral and all are welcome to attend, free of charge. The soloists will be Conor Prendiville (tenor) and Dominic Bowe (bass) and the organ will be played by Assistant Director of Music, Matthew Breen. 

Director of Music Peter Stobart writes:

Like the Bach Passions, Stainer wrote this work with the congregation in mind, and there are several familiar hymns for everyone to sing, such as Cross of Jesus, cross of sorrow, and the final hymn All for Jesus. At the centre of the piece is the famous anthem God so loved the world which is very familiar to us, nearly 140 years after it was first written.
