Rob Gardner's Lamb of God at Eccles Theater

Rob Gardner is an American Latter-day Saint composer whose masterpieces are mostly oratorios which include "He is Jesus Christ", "Joseph Smith the Prophet", "Saints and Pioneers", and his highly acclaimed magnum opus "Lamb of God." It is a musical portrayal of the final days of the life of Jesus Christ, as foreshadowed with the raising of Lazarus from the dead, his ministry and miracles together with the apostles, to the anguish-filled night of his arrest that led to torture, affliction, suffering, and crucifixion on Mount Calvary, and finally to His glorious resurrection.

"Lamb of God" is a monumental musical treasure and tradition. Countless musicians have performed it in various stages all over the world. But as the world of the performing arts closed down due to Covid 19, Garder saw this as an opportunity to fulfill a dream to make it to a feature film.

“It seemed like, maybe this year is the right time to do it in a year when live performances are less possible, if not possible at all,” Gardner said. “It’s never the wrong time to bring people hope, and that brings people together and that talks of Christ and rejoices in Christ and so it just felt like, if we can, we will, and the challenges can be overcome.”

You may have heard this story many times over, but "Lamb of God" the concert film makes it a much more compelling experience. Don't miss it! Click 'Get Tickets right here, right now!
