The Passion: Presented by the Notre Dame Folk Choir
The University of Notre Dame Folk Choir is heading to the East Coast in March to premiere “The Passion.”
Church of St. Francis of Assisi
Wednesday, March 9th at 7 PM
in the Upper Church
“The Passion” is a newly composed musical ritualization of Christ’s Passion. Emerging from a collaborative process between students in the Folk Choir and professional artists, the piece combines Scripture drawn from all four Gospels with original poetry, all set to newly composed music.
All concerts are free and open to the public. No advanced reservations are needed. The choir will adhere to all local COVID-19 guidelines and restrictions. This tour is made possible in part through a Vital Worship Grant from the Calvin Institute of Christian Worship in Grand Rapids, Michigan, with funds provided by Lilly Endowment Inc.
