On Wednesday 10th April, the cathedral will present the Australian première of Stations of the Cross
for organ (played by Simon Niemiński) and the Stabat Mater tropes sung by (The St Mary’s Cathedral Scholars) by Giles Swayne, one of the worlds most distinguished living composers.
Stations of the Cross (2004-5) is possibly the most significant organ work to have been commissioned in recent times: intensely powerful and descriptive, and at the pinnacle of virtuosic organ repertoire. Swayne’s own Stabat Mater plainchant tropes will be sung between movements.
Please join us for this devotional performance of this significant and challenging work.
Wednesday 10th April, 7.00 p.m.
Free admission (retiring collection)
