Concert highlights
- Seven reflections, one powerful journey
Haydn’s Seven Last Words unfolds as a sequence of meditations, each inspired by one of Christ’s final sayings from the cross. - Music written for a moment of stillness
Originally created for a Good Friday service, the work was designed to invite reflection, with each movement offering a different emotional perspective on the crucifixion. - From darkness towards hope
Although rooted in the tragedy of the Passion, Haydn’s music also leaves space for tenderness, consolation and the possibility of redemption. - David Threlfall joins the orchestra
Actor David Threlfall, known for Shameless, What Remains and Patriot Games, brings the spoken words into the heart of the performance as narrator.
