St. Andrew Catholic Church to Present 'The Crucifixion'

The Chamber Choir of St. Andrew Catholic Church in Newtown will present “The Crucifixion” by John Stainer during a performance on Friday, March 27.

The show begins at 8 p.m.

“Modeled on the great passion settings of J.S. Bach, Stainer’s Crucifixion is amongst the most popular of all English choral works and vividly portrays the events of the Passion of Christ. Scored for tenor and bass soloists, organ and mixed choir, the piece combines recitatives, solos, and masterful choruses that range from the graphic mob shouts of Crucify Him to the ethereally beautiful meditation at the work’s centerpiece ’God so loved the world,’” according to information from St. Andrew.

Saint Andrew Catholic Church is located at 81 Swamp Rd., Newtown.

There is a suggested donation of $10 to attend the event. Tickets are not required.
