- **Event Name**: Seven Last Words from the Cross
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 21 Mar, 2026 at 07:00 pm (+00:00)
- **Event Description**: Join Glasgow Chamber Choir in the atmospheric surroundings of Glasgow Cathedral for an evening of compelling choral music, centred on Sir James MacMillan’s Seven Last Words from the Cross, performed with a string orchestra.

Widely admired as one of MacMillan’s finest achievements, Seven Last Words from the Cross is an absorbing and moving concert work. Written as a sequence of seven short movements, the cantata reflects on Christ’s final utterances, shaping them into a dramatic and emotionally charged musical journey.

The programme also includes J. S. Bach’s Jesu, meine Freude, a landmark of choral writing that ranges from calm, flowing lines to more animated, rhythmic writing. This is contrasted with the spacious, flowing textures of O bone Jesu, scored in 19 parts, by the Scottish Renaissance composer Robert Carver.

Heard together, the programme draws connections across five centuries of choral music
