The Passion
Join the University of Notre Dame Folk Choir on Good Friday for their performance of The Passion, an original musical setting of the events of Christ’s passion. This 95-minute, fully-staged production depicts the disciples on Holy Saturday as they retell the events of Jesus’s last days, from the anointing at Bethany to Golgotha. This performance was recorded on Good Friday 2023 on the South Quad of the campus of the University of Notre Dame.
The Passion was written as a collaboration among students in the Folk Choir and professional artists over two years of discernment, retreat, and workshop. In May 2022, as part of their pilgrimage to the Holy Land, the Folk Choir recorded The Passion live at the Jerusalem Music Center. CDs are available for purchase here.
