Lovers of Christian music are in for a special treat this Easter as the Diocesan Choir of the Anglican Diocese of Lagos Mainland presents an Easter cantata in the evening of Sunday, April 28, at the Cathedral Church of St. Jude, Ebute Meta, Lagos, at 5pm. 

The cantata will feature G. F. Handel’s “Messiah” and many favourite Easter hymns.

A combined 250-member Diocesan choir accompanied by a 40-man orchestra, organ and top soloists will feature in the progamme, which is directed by Sir Emeka Nwokedi.

The programme is part of the process of building a strong musical culture in the Lagos Mainland Diocese with a view of making it a centre for excellence in church music in Nigeria.
