Experience a deeply moving concert combining music, word, and contemplation at the Cathedral of The Blessed Sacrament, one of Sacramento's most powerful and evocative spaces.

Discover the soaring melodic lines and intensely personal setting of Francois Couperin's Leçons de ténèbres pour le mercredi saint. Listen to the beautiful counterplay between violins in Jean-Marie LeClair's Sonata for Two Violins. Enjoy the mournful and moving sound of the Baroque bassoon in Darious Castello's Sonata No. 10.
