Passia sung by Papagena

Event information

Join Papagena as they perform a contemporary new work for upper voices composed by Liz Dilnot Johnson. Passia is a reimagining of the story of Good Friday, sung from the perspective of five women at the foot of the cross: Mary, Christ's mother; sisters Martha and Mary; Veronica; and Mary Magdalen. Sung by renowned international group Papagena, with Encoro and the University of Warwick Upper Voice ensemble, Passia explores universal themes of motherhood, loss and love as experienced by the women present with music of profound tenderness. The concert, which will also include Lenten music sung by Papagena, begins at 7.30pm and will last one hour (without interval).
