Sir John Stainer’s The Crucifixion has been a beloved Good Friday tradition at Brick Church for over a century. Brick Church will offer its 102nd performance this year, with 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. The Crucifixion’s enduring popularity testifies to Stainer’s emotional insight, above all in his famous unaccompanied setting of “God So Loved the World.”
Admission is free and open to the public. A freewill offering will be collected.
