Christ's College Choir will perform, for the first time liturgically, a new composition by the composer Sir Philip Ledger. 'The Risen Christ: An Easter Cantata' for choir and orchestra is a celebration in words and music of the season of Easter. Some of the texts are newly written and the music attempts to portray three different appearances of the initially unrecognised Risen Christ: to Mary Magdalene, to the disciples on the road to Emmaus and to Simon Peter at the Sea of Tiberias.

The performance will take place at 6pm in Christ's College Chapel, with orchestra. There have only been two previous performances of this - the US premiere was on 7 May at Washington National Cathedral and the UK premiere was on Sunday 8 May at Canterbury Cathedral. However, neither of these was in the context of the liturgical framework devised by Ledger, as it will be on Sunday evening in Christ's.

The performance will be directed by the composer and the organist will be David Rowland. All are welcome. Admission is free.
