The Hendricks Symphony Chorus, under the direction of Benjamin G. Del Vecchio, will present a free concert, Music for Lent at Avon United Methodist Church (6850 E. U.S. Hwy. 36, Avon) on Sunday, March 11 at 3 p.m. This concert will begin with two pieces by Edward Elgar, his “Ave Verum Corpus” and the beautiful and haunting “The Snow.” These will be followed by Heinrich Schutz’s “The Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ – According to the Gospel of St. John.” Schutz wrote this beautiful liturgical piece for Good Friday around 1665. “The Passion” will be narrated by Brad Ward.
