All are invited to join us for an evening of music and meditation featuring Jeremy Filsell on the organ and Bard Wickkiser reading classic poetry.

Regarded as a musical masterpiece by the great 20th century organist & composer Marcel Dupré (1886-1971), Le Chemin de la Croix (The Stations of the Cross) was conceived originally as an improvisation and was a musical interpretation of the poetic and incisive evocations of the Station imagery by Paul Claudel. Although the poetry was written originally in 1911, the great artistic collaboration of Dupré’s music being performed with Claudel’s poetry did not occur until 1931. Our Meditation in Music for Good Friday recreates this profound combination of text and music.
