Summary
Hallé players join poet Ruth Padel at Hallé St Peter’s to perform Haydn’s The Seven Last Words of Our Saviour on the Cross alongside Padel’s own verse.
Why it's fantastic
Haydn wrote this sequence to be performed in a candlelit cavern, creating a space for stillness and deep reflection. By weaving new poetry between the movements, these players offer a contemporary perspective on a classic work of mourning that remains incredibly approachable for anyone seeking a moment of quiet.
