Continuing our popular Come and Sing events over the last few years, Holy Trinity Cathedral now invites you to take part in the 2026 performance of Stainer’s magnificent Easter oratorio The Crucifixion. This glorious work will be familiar to many of you, and if you don’t already know it, here is a chance to experience one of the great choral works. Experience the joy and excitement of Cathedral singing by joining with the Cathedral Choir for this special service. Stainer’s The Crucifixion is one of the important works of the Easter season and we are thrilled to give you the opportunity to join with the Holy Trinity Cathedral Choir for this performance. Cathedral Director of Choirs, Peter Watts, will be directing the choir, and Cathedral Organist, Dr Philip Smith, will be playing the magnificent Holy Trinity organ. Andrew Dawson (tenor) and Blake Scanlen (bass) will perform the solo parts of the work.
