From San Diego weekend arts preview: Haydn's iconic "The Seven Last Words of Christ" was originally composed for a Good Friday service in the late 1780s in Cádiz, Spain, then later adapted for a string quartet. It contains seven pensive sonatas, each inspired by the seven phrases attributed to Christ during the crucifixion story. An introduction movement and a closing "Earthquake" piece round out the work, and the final movement is as violent, fast and loud as the title suggests. Hausmann Quartet have performed this work during Holy Week in prior years, and this year they're pairing up with a vocal quartet (led by Tasha Koontz) to perform chorales between each movement. Tickets are donation-based, with guests choosing one of three organizations working in Ukraine. —Julia Dixon Evans, KPBS From the organizers: In collaboration with St. Peter's Episcopal Church, the Hausmann Quartet presents a performance of Joseph Haydn’s epic masterpiece, The Seven Last Words of Christ. Originally commissioned for a Good Friday service in 1783, it was adapted for string quartet by the composer and has since become a treasured Easter-time tradition around the world. The Hausmann Quartet will be joined by a quartet of vocalists, who will sing the chorales that precede each movement. This concert will feature a name-your-own ticket price, with proceeds going to your choice of three nonprofits with a presence in Ukraine: Doctors Without Borders World Central Kitchen Voices of Children Related links: Hausmann Quartet on Instagram Hausmann Quartet on Facebook
