Experience the Profound Beauty of Sacred Music at “Stabat Mater”

Nairobi, Kenya – 10/4/2025 – Music, reverence, and timeless expression come together in a powerful tribute to divine sorrow and grace at Stabat Mater, a stirring choral concert hosted by the Nairobi Music Society and the Nairobi Orchestra. This evocative musical performance will take place over two consecutive evenings at the historic All Saints Cathedral in Nairobi: Saturday, April 26, 2025 – 7:00 PM and Sunday, April 27, 2025 – 7:00 PM.

Audiences are invited to witness a moving interpretation of one of Christianity’s most heartfelt hymns. Stabat Mater, originally composed in the 13th century, poignantly reflects on the Virgin Mary’s anguish during the crucifixion of her son. Translated as “The sorrowful mother was standing,” the piece has been musically interpreted by numerous composers throughout the centuries. Among these, Antonín Dvořák’s rendition stands as one of the most emotionally rich and revered settings.

In this special performance, Dvořák’s Stabat Mater will be brought to life by a full choir and orchestra, weaving together voices and instruments in a compelling narrative of pain, compassion, and divine strength. Known for its tender melodies, haunting harmonies, and deep spiritual resonance, Dvořák’s composition offers a transcendent experience for both sacred music enthusiasts and newcomers alike.

The event promises not just a concert, but a journey through the emotional spectrum of human sorrow and hope, delivered through the sublime language of classical music. Set within the architectural grandeur and spiritual ambiance of All Saints Cathedral, the performance will create an atmosphere that is both intimate and awe-inspiring.

Whether you are seeking solace, reflection, or simply an unforgettable night of musical brilliance, Stabat Mater is a concert not to be missed.
