The Brick Presbyterian Church to Present John Stainer's Oratorio THE CRUCIFIXION

The Brick Presbyterian Church will continue its 2023-24 Worship & Arts series with a Good Friday worship service featuring John Stainer's oratorio The Crucifixion. The performance, with a full chamber orchestra will be Friday April 18th, starting at 12:15 PM at The Brick Presbyterian Church, 1140 Park Avenue, Manhattan.

For more than 100 years, Brick Church has performed John Stainer's The Crucifixion on Good Friday. This year's 101st performance will feature soloists Sean Fallen and Nathaniel Sullivan, along with organist Alistair Reid. Stainer's music tells the story of Jesus' sacrifice and humanity's redemption with dramatic solos, choruses, and hymns sung by the entire congregation. Its enduring popularity testifies to Stainer's skill in painting the text, most famously in his sublime unaccompanied setting of "God So Loved The World."
