On Sunday 1 April 2012 at 5.30pm, Manchester Cathedral Voluntary Choir will perform Stainer’s Crucifixion, as an overture to our worship for Holy Week. In composing the Crucifixion, Stainer’s intention was to provide a Passiontide cantata written in a style that is accessible to both choirs and congregations alike. Five hymns for congregational participation are interspersed between choruses, recitative and arias. The Cathedral Voluntary Choir are directed by Jeffrey Makinson with Simon Davies (organ), Stephen Newlove (tenor) and Robert O’Connell (bass).
Tickets are now available for St John Passion on Sunday 25 March at 7.30pm. This concert will be conducted by Christopher Stokes and performed by Manchester Cathedral Choir and Manchester Baroque.
