Songs of Passion & Loss

Christ Church Cathedral
FRI OCT 18, 2024 at 7:30PM

BENEDICT SHEEHAN conductor

An evening of passionate choral works by Maddalena Casulana, Barbara Strozzi, Laura Hawley and Anna Olson, culminating in the world premiere of Benedict Sheehan’s The Passion of Mary, a new exploration of the Christian Passion narrative from the perspective of Jesus’ mother.

“This piece is meant to be a more intimate, human, and feminine perspective on the death
of Jesus, rather than the more historical or dogma-focused account that one finds elsewhere.”

-Benedict Sheehan
