Come and experience Pergolesi’s Stabat Mater at noon, Friday March 13, at Christ Church Cathedral.
The Stabat Mater is a 13th-century Christian hymn to the Virgin Mary that portrays her suffering as mother during the crucifixion of her son Jesus Christ. Its author may be either the Franciscan friar Jacopone da Todi or Pope Innocent III. The title comes from its first line, “Stabat Mater dolorosa”, which means “the sorrowful mother was standing.”
The performance will feature the Baroque orchestra from Early Music Missouri with Keith Wehmeier, countertenor & Ashley Fabian, soprano, under the direction of Dr. Connor Scott.
