Acclaimed chamber orchestra L'Offerta Musicale return to London for a special Easter performance of Haydn's Seven Last Words of Christ.
Ad Parnassum Presents: Seven Last Words of Christ /Concert & WineMusicians from acclaimed chamber orchestra L'Offerta Musicale return to London for a special Easter performance of Haydn's Seven Last Words of Christ.

Adapted for string quartet by the composer in 1787, The Seven Last Words of Christ was originally commissioned for a Good Friday Service in Cadiz, Spain and was performed in a church completely robed in black apart from a single light lit in the sanctuary...
