Join us this Easter Eve for a rare and extraordinary musical event in the heart of Saint Patrick’s Cathedral.
Acclaimed Cathedral Organist David Leigh will perform CHRISTUS: A Passion Symphony for Solo Organ by Francis Pott — a monumental and deeply spiritual work described as “an inspired piece on a grand scale that gradually reveals its greatness.”
Only eight organists worldwide have ever performed this modern masterpiece, considered by many to be the “Everest” of the organ repertoire. We are honoured that Mr Leigh will bring it to life on our mighty Willis organ, in a performance that will mark the profound journey from Holy Week to Easter.
“An attempt to trace… the Coming of Christ, then Gethsemane, the Way of the Cross, Golgotha, the Deposition, Christ in the Tomb, and, finally, the Resurrection.” — Francis Pott
Let the soaring music, sacred space, and powerful acoustics of Ireland’s National Cathedral guide you through this remarkable musical meditation.
Admission is free
All are warmly welcome. Please spread the word — this is a performance not to be missed.
