Good Friday special event with St. James' Artist-in-Residence, Bruce Neswick. Free Admission.
In 1931, the great French organist Marcel Dupré improvised a musical depiction of the Stations of the Cross as meditations on poems by Paul Claudel. Throughout the fourteen movements of Le Chemin de la Croix, Op 29, Dupré weaves a rich theological tapestry symbolizing religious themes of Christ's Passion (suffering, redemption, the cross, and piety to name just a few) by linking them to musical motives (four ascending notes, a descending major triad, etc.).
Come for some respite in the darkened church for this meditative performance by St. James' Artist-in-Residence and concert organist, Bruce Neswick. Accompanying the organ performance will be Claudel's original French poems and visual projections of sacred art through the centuries.
