Old Passion Sunday
March 17, 2024 @ 2:00 pm - 5:00 pm MST
On Old Passion Sunday, March 17, at 2:00 pm, the Choir of Saint Philip’s In the Hills will sing a program of choral music to anticipate Holy Week. British composer, pianist, and psychoanalyst Francis Grier’s exotic choral meditation on the passion of Christ, Sword in the Soul, incorporates texts from both Eastern and Western Christian sources, Grier’s exuberant and moving style, a soulful cello solo played by Mary Beth Tyndall, and dramatic readings written by Rowan Williams presented between movements.
This deeply moving program concludes with Ä’riks Ešenvalds’ lush and atmospheric In Paradisum for choir, viola, and cello solos. This is a free concert (with free parking) but donations to the Saint Philip’s music program will be gratefully accepted.
