Southampton Passion Blog

I took my wife to the Albert Hall on Tuesday evening to see a concert by a classical pianist, Ludovico Einaudi. It was a great evening in a great venue and the music was incredible. Einaudi had with him a small group of musicians, just five people to start with, and they produced this really complete, single sound - but as I looked closer I became aware of how they were all doing something quite different. Later, he was joined by a 15 strong orchestra and again there was this one complete sound that was being made up by a group of people playing quite different parts.

It struck me as I watched, that the Southampton Passion will be one complete event, performed on Good Friday 2011 - but it will only happen as lots of different people play their own different parts. There is already a great group of people using their talents and skills producing parts of this project, but can I encourage you to think about what part you can play as we seek to bring all these different parts together to make one beautiful sound that will put Jesus back at the heart of Easter.

I look forward to hearing from you soon!
