Passion Sunday Concert

At the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe will be a concert of Buxtehude's Membra Jesu nostri patientis sanctissima (The Most Holy Limbs of Our Suffering Jesus) on Passion Sunday. This musical piece contemplates seven parts of Christ's crucified body - his pierced feet, bent knees, bleeding hands, wounded side, revered breast, loving heart, and thorn-crowned face. Combining vivid texts with intensely expressive music, each of the seven movements contains a central aria, framed with a sacred concerto for voices and instruments, setting a biblical text chosen to complement the devotional poetry. This hour-long musical journey provides a fitting meditation on the Passion of Christ.

This concert features two internationally recognized classical singers: Sarah Braily and Clara Osowski, both of whom have sung in many parts of the globe. Accompanying them will be members of the Minnesota Orchestra.

For an afternoon of exceptional music, come to the Shrine on March 17. The concert begins at 3:00PM. This event is free.
