Passion Sunday Concert
Marking the beginning of Passiontide, this Lenten concert will feature some of the most famous Baroque music of the season, including the incomparable “Stabat Mater” by Italian composer Giovanni Battista Pergolesi, and works of Danish composer Dieterich Buxtehude, and German composer Heinrich Schütz.
With orchestra members of Minnesota’s Lyra Baroque, and soloists Sarah Brailey and Elizabeth Pearse, the focus of the music will be on the bond which unites Mary, and all of us, to the Passion of Christ. Admission is free and open to all.
