On Palm Sunday, join the Pembroke Community Choir at 7 p.m. at Our Lady of Lourdes Church for some meaningful Easter music. The choir performs Welsh composer Sir Karl Jenkins' Stabat Mater, featuring alto soloist Danielle Vaillancourt and a full orchestra. The text reflects on the suffering of Mary, mother of Jesus, at the time of the Crucifixion and Jenkins' poignant composition is beautifully melodic and allows the voices of the 70-member choir to soar. Sir Karl Jenkins is the world's most performed living composer.
TICKETS: Advance tickets $15 available until April 12 from choir members, Pembroke Mall office, and Fleurish (formerly Kevin’s Flowers) in Petawawa. Students 13 and under free. If still available, tickets will be $20 at the door.
