“A Musical Evening Remembering EASTER” 

(Admission Free. No Passes required. Seats available on first come first served basis. Please come early.)

Most of us associate christendom with Christmas and the birth of Jesus. Actually, the most significant festival of the Christians is Easter (the Resurrection of Jesus on Easter Sunday, after being crucified on Good Friday).

In the western music church tradition, famous composers like Mozart, Bach, Handel, etc have composed music, especially choral works – masses, oratorios, passions and cantatas – to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus.

This event will bring to the audiences the “Western Music Church Tradition” going back to the 6th Century Gregorian Chant used by the Roman Catholic Church, along with more modern style Easter Gospel and Easter Rock.
