Sacred Music for a Sacred Space
Join us online for the music of Bach, Schubert and Brahms
TMC’s annual Good Friday concert has become a cherished moment of calm and reflection for many. And this year, that is needed by so many. We hope you enjoy the experience of stunning choral music. Simon Rivard has chosen music from Holy Week in the Christian tradition while we explore some broader themes of grief and sacred space. The music will be accompanied by images, dance, and a stroll through a forest.
