Big Bend Interfaith Music Productions Presents Lamb of God
A free concert performance of Rob Gardner's Lamb of God. An oratorio for chorus and orchestra telling the Easter story.
“Lamb of God” is a dramatic musical portrayal of the final days of the life of Jesus, from the foreshadowing raising of Lazarus, to the devastating arrest and crucifixion of Jesus, and finally to his glorious resurrection. Composed and written by Rob Gardner, the story of Jesus is told through the perspective of those who loved and walked with him: Peter, John, Thomas, Mary and Martha of Bethany, Mary Magdalene and His Mother Mary.
It was first recorded 2010 with the London Symphony Orchestra, and then premiered at Gammage Auditorium in Tempe, Arizona. The oratorio has since been performed worldwide, reaching audiences of various faiths and even non-believers. It was also adapted into a concert film for the 2021 Easter season, allowing people to experience the work in a new and unique way. The oratorio’s message of hope and redemption resonates with audiences, making it a powerful and uplifting experience.
