Join us in Glasgow Cathedral for a performance of Sir James MacMillan’s Seven Last Words from the Cross, accompanied by a string orchestra.

Widely admired as one of MacMillan’s finest achievements, his Seven Last Words from the Cross is an absorbing and moving experience in concert, for performers and audience alike. The cantata sets the seven last sentences uttered by Christ on the cross, meditating on each to form a dramatic and emotional sequence.

“…probably MacMillan’s masterpiece… the maturity in this composition is astounding: the tonal structure of the seven settings, harmony which can be spare or lush without ever being overwritten, an inexorable sense of the drama in the text, the balance between voice and strings.” The Guardian

Tickets will be available online in due course.
