Holy Week Music at RPC

As Winter gives way to the early signs of Spring, RPC celebrates Holy Week with music reflecting on faith and resurrection. On Palm Sunday morning (March 24 at 10:30am), the Choir of RPC performs Finzi's magnificent anthem "Lo, the Full and Final Sacrifice".

On Good Friday (March 29 at 11am), RPC choir joins forces with the choir of St. Andrew's United to perform Bach's cantata "Weinen, Klagen, Sorgen, Zagen" BWV 12, the basis of which Bach composed his Crucifixus from the mighty B-Minor Mass.

Finally, on Easter Sunday (March 31 at 10:30am), we celebrate with music from the Handel's magnificent and surprising Easter masterpiece: The Messiah. As well, come hear the fabulous Toronto Brass Quintet that morning and their musical offering this Easter!

"Abendmusik" at RPC

In the late 17th century,the great German composer & organist , Dietrich Buxtehude, developed a series of evening concerts featuring a variety of music. Performed at the Marienkirche in Lübeck, North Germany. These concerts came to prominence and became known as the "Abendmusik" series (or evening-music). It is in this pioneering spirit that RPC seeks to promote a variety of local talent, in the tradition of the "Abendmusik", but with a desire to bring new music to Toronto audiences at large.
