The principal liturgical celebration of Good Friday (19th April) in St Fin Barre’s Cathedral, Cork, this year will be held at 12noon which will include the singing of the Passion Gospel according to Saint John by Peter Stobart, Director of Music.
At 8.00pm the Cathedral Choir will perform the oratorio The Crucifixion by John Stainer, with soloists Owen Gilhooly (tenor), Ben Jacob (bass) and Phoebe Chow (organ) under the baton of Mr Stobart.
The ‘congregation/audience’ will join in singing the hymns during the performance. It is hoped that this will provide a more accessible means of observing Good Friday…
