Bringing their beloved annual tradition to St. Paul's Episcopal Cathedral, the Hausmann Quartet presents Seven Last Words as part of their Haydn Voyages series. A performance of Joseph Haydn’s epic masterpiece will be accompanied by the Dean of the Cathedral, the Very Reverend Penelope Bridges, reading curated poems along with the original scripture upon which Haydn based each of the movements of this monumental work, The Seven Last Words of Christ. Originally commissioned for a Good Friday service in 1783, it was adapted for string quartet by the composer and has since become a treasured Easter-time tradition around the world.
This concert will be open to the public with a name-your-own ticket price, and all proceeds will benefit nonprofits with a local presence, including the San Diego Rescue Mission, Border Angels, the ACLU and Planned Parenthood.
