Schola Cantorum, director Michael Ferguson

This concert takes its inspiration from the recent installation outside the Cathedral of Homeless Jesus, the bronze sculpture by Timothy Schmalz portraying Christ as a homeless man sleeping on a park bench. The Cathedral Schola Cantorum will contemplate homelessness and poverty through a programme of choral music that speaks of mercy, compassion, and hope. The evening will include Gavin Bryars’ iconic composition Jesus’ Blood Never Failed Me Yet, built around a haunting loop of an unknown homeless man singing a simple, improvised refrain. Through choral music, the concert will be an opportunity to reflect on Christ’s presence in the most marginalised of our society.
